Dear Fellow Member Societies

Greetings and Wishes..!

It is my privilege and honour to report the strategies employed for the empowerment of women worldwide. 

I would like to start by thanking the member societies who have been collaborating with me for the past few months. I would also like to congratulate the member societies working for the development of the people, with special focus on women empowerment programs.

Our strength is being united for the cause. Various developmental steps are being taken to improve the interpersonal relationship of the member societies like, visiting member societies and witnessing their developmental works, as well as networking with one another to build contact with one another.

Penny for the Friendship - every penny can build life
Every member society is called to participate beyond monetary deal, to have concern by way of their responsibility to the society in a small way possible.  Each penny can enlighten life and abundance, each society as a member can contribute by thoughts, words and deeds and even with a penny that can bring holistic change in the world where we work.

WOMEN WALK THE WORLD
All the members are requested to participate in this special program.

Why is walking the concept? In a simple way to help women whose routine is to fetch water, cook, wash clothes etc.

Aims: Promote the idea of ACWW and allow women to grow socially and economically.

Walking is quite easy and inexpensive for all, so please plan and promote this Idea in your areas

Walking thoughts: When our entire members walk on the same day, the entire 24 hours will have our members walking for the entire day around the world.

It is while walking we meet all our kin, friends, and well wishers ….walk and walk …meet and meet … friends and neighbors …making more pennies for our development dreams.

Any query please contacts us.


Best wishes,

Sister Viji, DMI ACWW Central & South Asia Area President
