First time
We accepted "Nan", another 15 year-old this week, along with her 19 year-old friend. Today she finished making her first set of cards, and brought them to Judy for approval. Judy looked them over and asked, "Have you ever made anything like this before?" "Well, I've cut paper before," Nan replied. "These are very nice," Judy complimented. Nan simply smiled shyly and walked back to her table.
Later on she came up to Judy with a question. "How much are the cards?"
"The retail price is 60 baht (about $1.75), but workers get a 25% discount."
"Oh," she paused. "Because I was thinking maybe I could send a card to my mom."

Mae was so excited about her birthday cake that she could hardly concentrate on her work. We didn't ask if it was her first ever, but given that she only just reunited with her mother after many years, it's very possible. Judy and I got our hugs.
