At a busy meeting tonight, in which we welcomed prospective member Lynne, one item was a very distressing account of the real dangers facing 20,000,000 Afghanistan citizens who are in food insecurity. Imagine having to sell your daughter so that the rest of your family can live! The article can be found at https://youth.be/e3C8grEN2Fk with the present restrictions in place the situation is dire @soroptimists @soroptimist_inti_bangkok #sigbi #soroptimist #askmewhyiamasoroptimist

      COP26: a huge scarf is being stitched together for the climate conference by a group of knitters to be made into a scarf which will be 1.5 miles long. The segments have messages about climate change and ask delegates to take urgent action. This segment was knitted expertly knitted by our member Catherine. @soroptimists @soroptimist_inti_bangkok #sigbi #soroptimist. #strongwomen #femaleleadership #climatechange #westendwomenandgirls #streetwise #askmewhyiamasoroptimist
