Worldwide Update
We should all have received our Spring copy of Connected and for those who are on email the e-newsletter.
Lots of information about how we are enabling members worldwide to support their communities in their many challenges through our donations to the Worldwide Fund.
Could I encourage you to read the following articles in Connected relating to Worldwide?
Page 4 – No one is fare until everyone is safe:
Page 16 – Dealing with detestation: the destructive impact of adverse weather conditions in Madagascar.
Page 44 – Hope for the Future: literacy projects have a ripple effect in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Some issues need to be solved at Government level. Read in the e-newsletter how the Provincial President of Madagascar gave a report to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, ( UNCSW) in New York about the devastating effects of Climate Change on Madagascar. She is asking for action from the world leaders to reduce the effects of climate change. There has been a drought for 40 years in Madagascar!
Let us continue to support families and communities worldwide to gain a better life.
