Letter from the President
June 2003
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
are now history and "rebuilding" has begun. From
the Middle East, to the Congo to the United States
everyone hopes that the security and political climate
of the world will improve. "Building Bridges" to
a safe and peaceful world requires LEADERSHIP. At
Jagriti International we believe that to build
a "new world" we must have women's empowerment and
leadership... not just power centralized in a few
female individuals, but rather the power of a collective
force of awakened women and emerging leaders. In
this issue of Awakenings, "A
Letter of Peace from Nepal," demonstrates the
power of women joining together and represents the
unheard voices of women and women's organizations
in Nepal.
In September 2003 eight Jagriti International Bridging
Worlds Emerging Leaders will be arriving in California.
Today we would like to introduce the final four
Emerging Leaders from Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Selected as representatives by their own organizations,
each Emerging Leader seeks to enhance her skills
in order to better serve the women of her country.
On Saturday September 13 in Santa Barbara, California,
please join us and meet the 8 Emerging Leaders from
Afghanistan, India, Nepal and Pakistan. For those
who can't make it to California, other speaking
engagements around the U.S. are being planned, so
be sure to visit our website later this summer for
a detailed schedule of Jagriti Interaction Events.
The article, "Spotlight
on Manushi," continues our efforts to feature
the work of Jagriti partner organizations. We welcome
our partners to submit articles and photos about
their work for future newsletters. Be sure to read
about the awards and work of our Board Members and
share in the pain and suffering from a woman in
Ahmedabad, India.
We hope you enjoy the contents of Awakenings. We
welcome your comments and support of our work. Jagriti International exists because of your generous
contributions and participation. We thank you!
Sincerely,
Michele (Mikki) Andina |
