As some of you may heard I am the District 5890 Peace Committee Chair. With the Peace Committee there are sub committees in Positive Mental Health, Anti Human Trafficking, Girls and Women Empowerment, and next Rotary year we will be adding Refugee Services.
The World Academy for the Future of Women (WAFW) https://wafw.org/ is an active leadership program focused on developing young women for leadership roles that will accelerate women’s leadership worldwide.They have programs this year in China, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, and Mexico and has started the process to expand to Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Vietnam, and Columbia.
Girls and Women Empowerment Committee will be hosting facilitator training in Houston this April 12, 13 & 14. For more information like schedule and locations for the training contact the Girls and Women Empowerment Chair Karen Blakeman 713.775.1235 KarenB4Rotary@gmail.com.
I hope everyone has a great day and better week.
