The WorldYWCA

What an amazing, competent, dedicated and inspiring organization the YWCA is!   Did you know that

  • The YWCA is active in 127 countries.
  • Their programs touch over 25 million women and girls.
  • When women are empowered to become leaders whole communities are enriched.

We were privileged to receive the WorldYWCA Board in our home.  This Board is a wonderful example of an  inter-generational and inter-cultural body, and one that functions effectively.    Members come from 22 countries, each bringing unique talents and experience.  A number of them are still in their twenties bringing new views to complement those of other ages.

It is important for our personal age-esteem to keep such inter-generational contact active in our own lives and to reach out  and work with others of diverse ages toward a common goal.   My commitment to the WorldYWCA not only expands my knowledge and enhances my understanding of other cultures while helping to improve lives,  it also boosts my age-esteem!   I love being an ambassador for the WorldYWCA.
