EXPANDING OUR SUPPORT NETWORK
|
A new non-profit fundraising group has
joined the list of organizations that offers financial support
to Jagriti International.
"Dining for Women," based in Greenville, South Carolina, promotes
and aids the physical, emotional, and economic well being of
women and children worldwide, especially those living in countries
with limited support systems. The group acts on their members'
shared concerns and commitment by supporting organizations such
as Jagriti, who share their mission.
The group raises money in a unique and creative manner, while
simultaneously creating an important and enjoyable community
of women: each month the group has a potluck dinner at one of
the member's homes -- saving each the cost of dinner at a restaurant.
The women approximate their dining savings at $30 apiece; the
savings are pooled and donated to a different organization each
month.
Since founded in January 2003, "Dining for Women" has donated
its monthly group contribution to such non-profit organizations
as Women for Women International, Childreach, and the American
Leprosy Mission.

Whenever possible, a guest speaker addresses the group at the
monthly event. On October 28, Jagriti President Dr. Michèle
Andina spoke to the group; that event's $1000 donation went
to Jagriti International.
