The festival coincides with International Women\u2019s Day on the 8th of March celebrated by women throughout the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Unfortunately, like many other events, this year\u2019s festival 2021 did not take place but the Be Yourself Group and its partners celebrated on the 8th of March by planting a tree. With the kind support of the Gannochy Trust, representatives from the group and SI Perth planted a rowan tree in Quarrymill Woodland Park Perth.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It is hoped that the festival will return in 2022 and that partners including Soroptimists International Perth, Gender Equality Perth, Menopause Caf\u00e9, PKAVS and Onestop Women\u2019s Learning Service(OWLS) \u00a0will

AND SPEAKERS<\/h3>\n<h4>Soroptimists of Perth began the year with two very successful virtual meetings.\u00a0 Our first meeting on 12th Jan. introduced us to speaker Diana McMicking from Firefly International, an organisation who help provide safe spaces for children affected by war.\u00a0 Founded in Bosnia by Ellie Maxwell, a student at Edinburgh University, the charity currently works in Syria, Turkey and Bosnia.\u00a0 Sadly Ellie passed away in 2009 but the work she began continues with a dedicated team of workers doing a wonderful job in dangerous circumstances.<a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/perth\/files\/2021\/02\/Firefly.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4979\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/perth\/files\/2021\/02\/Firefly.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"67\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">Following our inspiring speaker, SI Perth members discussed our programme action work &#8211; the projects we are running at the present time &#8211; under the headings of:<\/h3>\n<h4>Climate Change (working with Woodland Trust on tree planting), Domestic Violence, Gender Inequality, Recycling, and Supporting Local Organisations e.g. providing goods for RASAC, donating to Salvation Army to ease poverty, supporting P &amp; K Music Foundation, making blankets\/rugs for Murray Royal, knitting premature baby items for Ninewells, providing toiletries to Women&#8217;s Aid, and much more.<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u25ca\u25ca\u25ca<\/p>\n<h4>Our second meeting, on 26th Jan. highlighted the work of The Free to Live Trust (FTLT), with speaker Pam Cairns, Co-Founder of the Trust, bringing us up to date with their 2 Children&#8217;s Homes in Pune, India.\u00a0 SI Perth have supported the building of these two homes and the upkeep and support of the children in the homes.\u00a0 The children are the offspring of trafficked girls, caught up in modern day slavery and being forced to work in the red light are of India.\u00a0 The FTLT helped in the rescue of around 60 children, and are giving them security, freedom and love in the countryside of Maharashtra where they attend local schools and are looking forward to a brighter future than previously.\u00a0 Back in the red light area of Pune, the FTLT provides hot food daily for a good number of the children still trapped there, in very dangerous circumstances.<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u25ca\u25ca\u25ca<\/p>\n<h4>Our next Club meeting, on Zoom, will be on Tues. 9th Feb., when Jen Stewart from RASAC is our speaker.\u00a0 If you&#8217;d like to attend one of our meetings as a guest, to hear one of our speakers please contact us.\u00a0 (Our full syllabus is on the front page of our Website.)\u00a0 We&#8217;d be delighted to welcome you.<\/h4>\n<h1 align=\"center\">&#x2666;<\/h1>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>WEBINARS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4>During January, a number of Soroptimist <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Webinars<\/span> took place throughout the world, and SI Perth members attended, to learn what our Soroptimist sisters are doing in their own countries.\u00a0 SI Dundee ran one of these Webinars, where the speaker was Aratrika Bhattacharya from SI South Kolkata, addressing the problems of domestic violence and gender inequality in India.<\/h4>\n<h4>On 29th January, SI Pune Metro East in India, one of SI Perth Friendship Links, organised a <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Webinar<\/span> with speakers discussing the problems of climate change, and the tree planting our clubs are doing in various parts of the world.\u00a0 One such tree is the Moringa, grown in Asia and Africa, also called the Miracle Tree, the Tree of Life and the Drumstick Tree.\u00a0 \u00a0 In India these trees are used for many purposes, e.g. medicinal, culinary, and every part of the tree &#8211; the leaves, stems and flowers &#8211; are all important benefits to the Indian people.\u00a0 SI PME hope to plant 100 of these essential trees over the coming months and SI Perth will be supporting a project in Mombasa to plant Moringa trees there.<\/h4>\n<div id='gallery-12' class='gallery galleryid-4987 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div
