Corona, CA, May 31, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The fifth annual Angel Faces retreat for adolescent girls, ages 11 through 19, with severe facial injuries will be held from June 22th – 27th, at Glen Ivy Retreat Center in Riverside County, CA (north of San Diego). The innovative, Six-day retreat, created exclusively for young women who have suffered extensive facial injuries, will include over 20 adolescent girls from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The event will be lead by Lesia Cartelli, a San Diego resident and burn survivor who founded the retreat in 2003.
The Angel Faces retreat helps girls overcome the emotional effects of their trauma in their daily lives by teaching them how to positively handle stares and teasing, focusing on social and behavioral skills to enhance self confidence, working on goal setting and making positive life choices.
A powerful component of the program is teaching the girls how to apply corrective makeup techniques to cover their scars/birth anomalies while enhancing their inner beauty. Another highlight is “spa experience,” where local professionals volunteer to treat the girls to facials, massages, and new hairstyles. At the end of the program, the girls will have experienced a true makeover for both their physical and emotional wounds. Results are extraordinary.
Each day Angel Faces program has extraordinary photo opportunities of corrective cosmetics makeovers, creating an art Mosaic project to swimming, yoga and role playing activities for human interest story:
· Monday, June 23rd From 7 am to 6 p.m.
