The Morgan Manor Foundation of Los Altos hosted an innovative day of rebuilding self-esteem and rediscovering both inner and outer beauty Aug. 19 for girls 11 to 18 in Santa Clara County foster and group home care.

The event, “Power in Beauty,” was held at the Stillheart Retreat in Woodside. The girls spent the day discovering the beauty of nature hiking the trails of the forest. In addition, the girls learned the basics of yoga, Pilates, nutrition and the importance of caring for skin. Merchants from Los Altos to Alameda donated products and services to make it a day the girls would never forget.

The Morgan Manor Foundation was created to help low-income single-parent families, to give children a chance to develop their potential. For more information about the foundation, call
