WLW Class of 2012 - Updated email list

[Carol Chang]

Hi all!

 

Thanks to Deanna and Barbara F, we've created a WLW class of 2012 google group so that it will be easier for us all to stay in touch.

The email address is WLW...@googlegroup.com, and the list includes everyone in our grad class along with our coaches, and Barbara F and Barbara K.

 

Let's start a new thread here. What was the best thing that happened to you all today? :) Mine was starting this group!

Excellent!!

Love this idea too. Thanks - great to stay connected with all. 

Mine was a non-professional "best thing". I landed in NYC and am about to see my family for a week long vacation in the Finger Lakes.  Good times - and a great way to contemplate my pathways!

Fabi:  Enjoy the panel - if you want some support before your session let me know.   I have co-lead a program Women Leading Change for Walmart.com and have trained over 100 women in a similar body of work you did in your WLW program.   Let me know who your contact is there too.  - I coach a couple of people in the technology group.   

Warmly, 

Gerry Hansen

Yea for you Linda, rest, restore, and dream! 
My best thing was discussing the dream with a friend at lunch, her encouragement.  I'm looking forward to meeting with a major point person for the project this afternoon, then sharing AGAIN tonight at a community event where I've been asked to sing. 
Good goin on!

Fabulous!  Lynda - I've been chatting with my friend who works with the translation software company and learned that she's now freelancing. She's happy to help!  Lets catch up soon!  Onward!

If anyone else needs translation services for your work - Gayton, Adrianna, anyone else? - please let me know. I'm sure she would offer connections, recommendations and likely free translation to boot!

Cheers,

My daughter today just completed 4 weeks of "Summer Intensive" at Ballet San Jose. They finally "allowed" parents to observe the class. Maya was so beautiful. Its amazing how two technical people from opposite sides of the world could create something so incredible.

It is up to all of us to create a better world for her and her generation. I know we are the ones to make it happen.

:-)

Love you all!

There are few other joys than to see your children or loved ones do something great.  Congrats Deanna, bask in these moments. 
I have a great report, not my doing, but I found out yesterday that our team has secured an industrial oven donated from a fire station in Richmond and 200 new cushioned chairs, still in the boxes up in Sac.. All this for the community kitchen in Mexico. Now to get it all down there!  The ball is rollin to a vision made real!!! 
High regards!

Great Joyce , Carol and Barbara, 

So good to know that all of you are focussed on your commitment , here me too got a great break through when I and my team was invited to visit a great organization Rashidabad in Sindh Pakistan. This org wants to have IDSP as it's partner and will build a separate building for us with all the proper requirements for a Sindh campus .

This is a great honor and a sign of great credibility for us all.

As for our flim course the learners are back in practice in their communities.

But over all the security is becoming a serious issue now a days.

May we all be blessed,

Dear Rimmi,

The best thing that happened to me today was receiving your email and reading about this amazing opportunity for you and your team with the building of a new campus. I am so happy for you! This is a true acknowledgement and validation of the work you are doing in your community.

Please be safe my friend, stay in touch, and let us know when you will visit California again.

Sending you the warmth and blessings of our friendship,

My dear Martine, and all my friends in WLW, 

Many thanks for all your encouragement and love, I need it and you people are great.

To have this new campus in the much more peaceful place in rural Sindh is like three hours from my home in Karachi.

I plan to get the adolescents and youth out of danger zones of Balochistan and make space for them in the new campus, so that their education and livelihood training is continued.

These days three of our districts in Baluchistan are in a war zone.

The tribal groups , religious groups, and government forces are fighting , every thing is closed , our adolescents and youth  are once again vulnerable and now again now where to go for their studies , skills, and learning entrepreneurship. 

Our campuses are now close down , each campus had more then 60 adolescents from very vulnerable families.

Now if nothing happens  for them they will be taken over by these vested interest forces and will be turned in to Suicide bombers, drug dealers or will kill for 

money .    

I am now planning to start our campus in neighboring province Sindh, the ORGANIZATION OF RASHIDABAD , has agreed to give us a campus and all the facilities with it.

Now I need to raise funds to bring these 300 adolescents to this new campus, feed them and pay for their tuitions  and skills  training , I cannot use the funds of Balochistan in Sindh, nor we have any cash , we have the training and learning material in our previous campus, but now we need expenses for their Full time residence students.

I have to do this to save and protect these vulnerable , but hard working , intelligent , youths. 

I need to raise 100 dollars for one adolescent for one year. 

We have 300 youths to migrate from Balochistan.

Love you all

Quratul ain, rimmi

For me, the greatest difference would be more people in my circle who believe in above and beyond visions.  I am happy with the committee I have for my project, they are ENGAGED AND CRACKIN!  (That's a good thing, it means in agreement and excited about it), but for others, largely because of the training to believe I can and should set the bar higher on things, I notice the low thinking of others more.  This is sad.  What I opt to do about it then, is to stay focused, balanced in my life, optimistic about my and their projects.  I keep it moving.
Would appreciate your input Barbara, always with high regard,
Lynda H.

[Linda Naugle]

Hi  Rimmi,

Is there a website where we can donate to your cause?  Just an idea - If you can set up a paypal account - https://www.paypal.com/home - we can send money to you to sponsor your students.

 

Please advise which is best and we'll begin to channel the resources!

 

warmest regards,

Linda N.

[Quratulain Bakhteari]

Many many thanks Linda,

You all are just great, may you all be blessed, 

Will you and others need tax deduction? 

We have a dollar account in Quetta, and I have a dollar account in Orange county.

Putting account on web is risky.

I  am also thinking to arrange with a already established charity in USA to receive donations on our behalf.

Let me know what suits you.

With lots of love

Rimmi

My very dear friends of WLW Class 2012, 

I am soo blessed to be part of you all.

Believe me your responses is making my very initial ideas in to a serious commitment for our vulnerable adolescents of Balochistan.

Linda and all my friends . 

It is true that I need to raise funds to start the process of getting the young ones organized and start talking to their parents to let them come to me.

To ensure a transparent and most legal way for raising funds I am looking for a account that can give tax deduction and also is well accepted both in USA and Pakistan.

With love and thanks

Rimmi ( Quratul Ain )

Hi Rimmi,

This is a bit out of my professional expertise but I'll do what I can.  Please see this site - http://www.netsquared.org/blog/tudiabetes/how-create-social-change-without-becoming-501c3  It provides some perspective on the benefits and drawbacks of becoming a 501c3 - tax exempt non profit. 

 

This link - http://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-501c3-Nonprofit-Organization -  a basic outline that notes what you need to do to create a 501c3.  Please note it's from Wiki so it's not directly from a profesional.

 

I'm not sure where you want to take your project but if you want donations and want to be transparent, you might want to consider becoming a 501c3.  That said, it will take some work.

 

I invite others to chime in who have been through the process and know the details far better than I.

 

hugs,

Linda

[Martine Bolsens]

I am researching another option, an existing platform similar to Kiva and specifically targeted to raise funds for students.

One of our Board Members, Jeff Chow, is connected to this organization and I have a request out for more information.

I will let you all know what happens next.

Dearest friends,

 

I hope as you look back on this year you are feeling accomplished and loved.  I am looking back and feeling like one of the highlights of my year has been my experience learning and loving with all of you.  Experiencing the commitment and deep compassion of this community of women has been the highlight of my year.  I can’t wait to see and hear of your successes and leadership into this new year.

 

With love and respect,

 

Julie
