Hey Everyone, check out this great event our friends at the Untied Nations Association of Columbus is hosting:
International Women's Day (IWD), is marked on the 8th of March every year. It is
a major day of global celebration of women in different regions. The focus of
the celebration ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and
love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social
achievements.
We will have a program on that Sunday, March 6th with a presenter from Rwanda
who is also a genocide survivor. Norah is a Columbus resident originally from
Rwanda who will give her first hand account of being a genocide survivor. She
talks about the power women have to reconcile and how to build a bridge for
peace. She will also have items for sale made by Rwandan Artisans. The proceeds
will be used to help the women in Rwanda with financial aid, job skills and
education. For additonal information please contact VP of Programs Audrey Peters at Apeters@unacol.org.
