Dear colleagues,

Please share the below call for applications for our two 2015 WHRI programs in Toronto---the 4 week WHRI Intensive and the 7-day CEDAW for Change. We will have news soon about Spanish-language offerings in 2015 as well.

If you have someone in mind who would be an excellent candidate to attend the 4-week WHRI in June, please do contact us so we can look at options to supporting the best possible participants for our program this year.  We appreciate your support in getting the word out.

warmly,

Angela

การเกิด-การตาย อยู่ใกล้แค่พลิกฝ่ามือ ทุกขณะทุกนาทีที่เรามีกันอยู่สำคัญทุกวัน ทำสิ่งที่ควรทำในตอนที่ยังได้อยู่ด้วยกันดีกว่ามานั่งทำในสิ่งที่ไม่เคยทำเมื่อตายจากกันแล้ว
