WOMEN IN ACTION

We are entering now our Fourth Week of the Rush Month for Season 1 Sisterhood South Africa. It is a total of 62 ladies participating of this project and going through this amazing journey into flourishing to a beautiful young woman of God.

Out of these 62, 20 will make their way to be the first Pledges in South Africa, not because they are better than the others – this is not a competition – but because somehow they showed to be more prepared for the responsibilities that lie ahead.

We still don’t know who they are, the race is still on; what we know is that all had wonderful opportunities and experiences this far that caused them to change in some aspects of their life. Sisterhood Rush Month will soon be finished but hopefully not what they have learnt.

Soon we will be publishing some testimonies so that you can comprehend in so many ways how beneficial Sisterhood has been.

For now, just cheer for our ladies: they are unique, they are special and they are beautiful women of God in the make.

Do you know those small pieces of clothing that they have irregular shapes like underwear, vests, socks or accessories that look scattered all over your closet or drawer like bijous or scarves? More you try to organize them, less it gets done because they are small and probably you have one of each type? This is the practical solution to get it organized: box it all up!

On behalf of all WiA members we once again extend our thankfulness to all health providers, volunteers who participated of this project and above all our members and visitors who were massively present to the occasion.

We also would like to make a friendly reminder to all women who were somehow referred to further medical assistance to pursue health improvement.

To all those women who were advised to visit Helen Joseph Hospital for mammograms, please, do not neglect this call and kindly get in touch with one of our WiA members in your church so that we can put you in contact with the BHF for assistance.

Above all, whatever was the result of your health check-up, whatever you learned during our event, remember, WiA members main role is to support you emotionally and spiritually throughout the journey. Count on us!
