Pump gave a rousting testimony about how she took her vision for LadyLike from her head and heart and made it into reality. Now that it is real what can she say? She just says, “Wow! And God is so good, he’s amazing.” Pump explains some of the programs they go through. “They do etiquette classes. Every week at a middle school we have a whole curriculum on ladylike; loving themselves, loving others, being appropriate, striving for greatness, yearning to learn, then we have cooking classes, make-up classes and getting into college workshops. It’s a very well rounded program so we touch every area of their lives.”
