Members of SI Cannock & District and their partners spent a wonderful afternoon at the home of club member Carole Holdcroft enjoying their annual Summer Celebration lunch. Although it wasn’t warm enough to sit outside for lunch those who wished to were able to have a stroll in the garden afterwards. President Val Jones thanked Carole for her generous hospitality in opening up her home and also thanked those members who had provided desserts and cakes.<\/p>\n

\u00a3224.00 was raised for club funds: this is used to purchase items needed for Soroptimists to continue their work to raise awareness of some of the many issues they are involved with, issues such as child sexual exploitation, trafficking and domestic abuse being amongst them.<\/p>\n

In addition, a raffle was held which raised \u00a3100.00 for the Soroptimist Meru Garden Project.\u00a0 This is a Federation project and is in its second year. The aim of the project is to educate, enable and empower women in Meru County, Kenya by providing sustainable gardening techniques and tools, enabling women to become pioneers of agricultural sustainability within the community. Girls will also be educated about their rights, empowering them to stand up to damaging cultural practices like female genital mutilation [FGM].\u00a0 By providing economic opportunities to women and girls, the project will achieve long term change by strengthening entire communities, so improving the lives and opportunities for generations to come.<\/p>\n

For more information on the work of the club, or to arrange to come along to a meeting, please visit their website: \u00a0www.sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district<\/a> or their Facebook page www.facebook.com\/SICannock<\/a>; or email si.cannock@outlook.com<\/a><\/p>\n
