education

In March of this year I sent out an appeal for donations to our newly established Educational Fund which would help young women of the Pacific area attain their goals in basic secondary education. So far we have received several contributions from individuals and chapters, making the Fund grow satisfactorily so far.

Today I would like to address girls’ education in South Asia in the post-tsunami environment. The first weeks of this new year have shown us both the destructive power of nature and the transformational power of collective human action. In a rare moment of international common cause, we have seen the very best of humanity in a global experience few of us will ever forget.

The “Millennium Development Goals: Civil Society Takes Action Conference” was attended by many of our members while here for our PPSEAWA-USA Annual Meeting. The discussion focused on how civil society can become more active.
