Girls received hair ties and clips, while boys got knee pads, soccer balls, and textbooks. The older girls were given lipsticks and skincare products. These older girls had never seen such items before and were curious, with their brown eyes filled with confusion. "Mr. Micah, what is this?" one of them asked.

"Lipstick can enhance your skin tone," Mr. Micah patiently explained. "In other countries, people use it to make themselves look better. This process is called makeup. This is foundation. If you don't know how to use it, I can find a video for you to watch and learn from."

Mr. Micah spoke in a mix of English and Yaren language, and Nina could mostly understand him.

"Thank you, Mr. Micah!" The girl didn't fully understand but clutched the lipstick and skincare products like treasures. The desire to look beautiful is a natural human trait.
