event 2

Event- meeting for IWiN (International Women in Need)
Place-The Women’s Center
Time-Monday, December 3rd 7:00

This event was an informational meeting about IWiN. It was about this year’s project in which VT and its community will be helping to raise money for the women in a village in Kenya. This money will go towards a power mill that can grind corn mechanically. The women of Kenya are not appreciated at all and have to depend on the males. Therefore, their lives are very hard. Getting this mill will help the women make some money and make them more independent.

The connections that this event/meeting has with this course is how we are looking and trying to help less fortunate women. This whole course has been about gender equality and informing us about the problems that there are in our society today. This is just one of the few, and it is giving us an opportunity to help out.

I believe that the information given during this meeting makes you really realize how bad these issues are in other countries. I believe that giving money to this cause is a great investment. Not only will it immediately help out, but it will also set the stage for many years to come and continue to help this country by building a good source of jobs for generations to come.
