Not for glory or for fame, but for usefulness, widespread usefulness.
Some feedback from women who attended our International Women's Day event on Monday:
We had a great time today. We learnt about International Womens Day, which we knew nothing about before. We have really enjoyed this rare chance to celebrate everything great about being a women!!
Lovely meeting some new people. The food was wonderful, but the atmosphere and especially the dancing has been great fun. We love coming here and today has been extra special!

Thank you for holding this event for us women. It's one of the few places we get a chance to meet women from all different backgrounds and cultures. Talking to Naomi in Kenya was great, thank you so much for the opportunity. It has been a real pleasure to associate with all these lovely people.

Had a wonderful day, always look forward to having these gatherings. Getting to know new faces each time. Without all your hard work this would not be happening.

I have enjoyed every minute I have been here, and I think the time was running so quickly. Everything was so nice, chatting, laughing, food, music ... ... looking forward to celebrating again with each other next year. Keep shining ladies!!!!!

My children really love coming here. It was nice to try food from other countries and share mine too. Getting my mehndi done, and dancing with friends were also highlights.
