2024 WAHCE International District and County Chairs
During my term as WAHCE International Chair, I am working with some very dedicated people to continue making a difference in our communities and all around the world. Pennies for Friendship monies support most of the things we do.
- Nicaragua: Support and promote the W/NP bee keeping and honey production, Learning Centers, or shipping.
- Ventures in People Scholarship project.
- ACWW agricultural and learning projects for food production, safe water, and women’s health.
(including the white boxes supplied by W/NP):
- For sewing projects: scissors, thread, needles, pins, measuring tapes, bias tape etc. Also, one yard or longer lengths of cotton or light weight fabric is appropriated
- Gardening boxes; trowels, clippers, cultivators, gloves, string, row markers etc.
- Cooking Boxes: measuring cups and spoons, wooden spoons, whisks, spatulas, turners, tongs, meat forks, paring knives, etc.
- Hair care: scissors, clippers, combs, mirrors, brushes, curlers, etc.
Pack boxes with a list of contents taped on the outside. Inside put a note with the county you are from and a picture of the members who participated. You can decorate your box if you want to..
ACWW Resolution to reduce food waste from the field to the family. Let us all try to throw away as little food as possible, share excess from our gardens, watch the “use by” dates on our packaged food, and appreciate having good healthy food available all year.
Zero Hunger, Bonnie Teeples, our ACWW USA Area President’s project for this Triennial is Food Security and the United nation’s millennium goal of Zeo hunger by the end of the 21st century. That goal says, “It is the right of all people to always have sufficient healthy and culturally appropriate food available.”
We have hungry people in every nation on earth. My challenge to all WAHCE members is that each one donates two extra cans of food such as chucky soup, pork and beans, beef stew, or spaghetti sauce in 2024. Include them in a donation to a food pantry in your area. That means that when there is a food drive in your area, contribute at least two extra cans or boxes of food sometime during this yea
Then at your monthly meetings report to your international chair how many you donated. Report the number of cans your county contributed at the Spring Area meeting during the area International Chair’s report. These totals will then be included in the President’s report at the 2024 NVON annual conference in July and to Bonnie Teeples for her reports to ACWW.
Orange the World: ACWW is promoting the UNESCO campaign to eliminate violence against women and children. What can you do? Advocate for less violence. Wear your “Orange the World” button to meetings. Have a “Wear your Orange” meeting. Invite a presenter to a meeting who can speak to your group about violence in your community. Do not accept violence as normal. Speak out against it.
