From ASMS Counselor and WOW sponsor Helen Clark: “Recently, the Women of the World club travelled to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. They went with a purpose and a determination to come back more informed, and prepared to tackle hard, rarely faced issues of injustices and poverties faced by women in other countries. These young ladies spent many hours during this three day weekend watching the documentary “Half the Sky” by Kristopher Kristoff, and Sherly WuDunn and discussing the issues represented in the documentary. We voted on the two causes we felt most compelled to donate to and came home with the determination to make our voices heard in some way. The girls have since raised enough money to send checks to two worthy organizations: The Fistula Foundation, which will receive a check for $1,000.00, and Camfed, which will also receive a check (they are still in the process of the fundraiser that will fund this I will be able to give you an exact amount by the end of the week.) The girls are determined not to stop here and we will continue reaching out beyond our four walls, into the community and world to bring education and empowerment to young women.”
