Also attending were Regional President Margaret Baker and Regional Programme Action Officer Margaret Molyneux. Martin came to update us on his recent trip to Malawi. Our club has put forward the charities Heal Project as the Sigbi &#8216;s Quadrennial project and it has been shortlisted to the final three . We were very excited to hear about his update . He played a short video- The Girl Effect- The Clock is ticking which was very powerful . It showed how 12 year old girls were considered women in some African countries and the consequences of that . It also showed how things could be changed and the girls kept in education and as a result their lives could be so much better.<\/p>\n<p>He gave us some case studies about how women have been helped by the Heal a Project already . We all found the update very enlightening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Val Moss our Programme\u00a0 Action\u00a0 Officer\u00a0 introduced our speaker Martin Smedley from the charity Act4Africa&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":272,"featured_media":507,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[49,88,52,50,64,63],"class_list":["post-506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news","tag-act4africa","tag-charity","tag-empowerment-livelihoods-for-women-in-malawi","tag-heal","tag-malawi","tag-quadrennial-project-finalist"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>July Speaker Meeting | News | Blog | Events | SI Manchester<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Manchester : Blog &amp; News : July Speaker Meeting : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Manchester .
