A ny WI member who attended the ACWW Canada Area Conference in
Regina from October 13- 15, 2006 was able to take part in a very special
occasion. Meeting the World President Ursula Goh from Malaysia was
indeed very special. The 2006 Theme for the conference was “ Working with
Women Worldwide”.
Ursula Goh has given many years of service to the organization trying to
make the world aware of the hardships women face in under developed countries.
She has been the President for the past three years and has traveled extensively
in order to see the problems first hand. She makes women aware of possible
avenues of help. She will request assistance for area projects, some which have
been developed with only a few pennies. In particular she is visiting all the areas
that are receiving funds from the Tsunami Disaster Fund. She is very proud that
women who were devastated by this disaster were given the practical assistance
that they requested or needed. This included such things as sewing machines and
supplies to women who lost their lace making livelihood in Sri Lanka.
ACWW is strictly a rural group. Your membership can do great things.
Conventions are held every three years.
We have been asked to support a project “ A Toonie for a Shingle” to roof
the picnic shelters at the International Peace Gardens on the Border of Manitoba
and North Dakota. This is a very beautiful picnic area.
“ Into the North” projects are well supplied with clothing. There is a
need for school supplies and also mitts, toques, scarves and socks. We are asked
to make contact with teachers, clergy and public health persons and send articles
to them.
“ The War Stories” Books are again on hand. This is a great book of real
life stories. I am only sorry more stories did not get told! wi
