GFWC WV Jrs Crown Jewels of Volunteers... - INT. OUTREACH

Jessica Hames, International Outreach

Hello ladies!  I know our clubs are thinking locally right now - we all want to help with the Christmas needs that are close to home, but there are easy ways to help our international neighbors as well!  GFWC has recently added a new partnership for International Outreach - INMED. 
 

INMED Partnerships for Children rescues children from the immediate and irreversible harm of disease,

hunger, abuse, neglect or violence, and prepares them to shape a brighter future for themselves and the next

generation.

INMED is partnering with GFWC to give members the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of

children in Latin America, the Caribbean, southern Africa, northern Virginia, and Compton, California.

Established in 1986, INMED has rescued millions of children through sustainable programs that engage

vulnerable communities to create positive, lasting change.
 
Among others, one way that you can contribute to INMED is by shopping from their gift catalog!  For more information about INMED, check out our club manual at gfwc.org or go to www.inmed.org.

Hello ladies!  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer, I can’t believe it’s almost over!  I know that most of our projects are geared towards local needs, but we also like to help internationally.  There are some programs that clubs do yearly, which is fabulous, but be on the lookout for new needs/projects.  A website that I would like to share with you is www.womenforwomen.org – this site has information and ideas that could help our clubs.  Also www.globalgirlfriend.com is a wonderful shopping site, with everything from clothes to jewelry.  There are some great earrings and bracelets on this site for under $20 and even $10.  These would make great gifts for your secret pals, club gifts, or even to get your Christmas shopping started!  Speaking of Christmas, summer is a great time to get started on your Operation Christmas Child boxes!  We all get so overwhelmed close to Christmas, it would be great to have your shoeboxes done early!  For more info on this project, go to www.samaritanspurse.org.   If anyone has any International Outreach program ideas you would like to share, or any questions about this Community Service Project, please don’t hesitate to contact me!!

Junior Love,
