We're preparing for a busy fall!

September:

The Community Advocate Mentor Program - Middle East: IWDC's most ambitious program brings women leaders from Israel and Palestine for an intensive, two-week hand-on workshop on Capitol Hill to further co-existence initiatives in the region. Bringing together women leaders with Congressional Members, Lobbyists and policy experts, CAMP-ME will host its second session this September 7 - 17 in partnership with the international NGO Mercy Corps. For more information on CAMP-ME: CAMP.

 

The Pipeline Project is gaining ground once again all over the US, training young women in the skills they need to become leaders within their own communities. IWDC is currently planning The Pipeline Project in Durham, NC in conjunction with Duke University and Peace College for September 26 and 27. For more info on the Pipeline Project: Pipeline.

 

October:

Night O'Chocolate: IWDC will be hosting its annual fundraiser in partnership with the Women's Research and Education Institute (WREI). Night O'Chocolate will feature decadant desserts and drinks, great entertainment, and fantastic drawing prizes and silent auction items. Wine and beer for the event are being donated by local vineyards such as Sugarloaf Mountain in Dickerson, MD.

We're busy collecting dozens of donations for the Silent Auction and drawings now, but just to give you an idea of what to expect, IWDC has secured:

* A ladies' gold watch from Seiko, valued at $200;

* Men's and women's warm-up jogging suits by Adidas;

* A stunning black leather purse from Lancome;

* Estee Lauder cosmetics products;.

* Select red and white wine baskets;

* And, as one of our select grandprize items, a 2-night weekend getaway to Boston at the 5-Star Boston Harbor Hotel on Rowes Wharf complete with champagne breakfast at Intrique Cafe and a gourmet dinner at the world-class Mertitage Restaurant; a total package valued at $1,500!

Tickets to Night O'Chocolate are $50 per person and sponsorship opportunities are available; contact Lauren at info@iwdc.org for more information. We hope that you will join us to toast a glass of wine and raise money for women's global leadership!

 

November:

Community Forums Project - Botswana: And finally this November IWDC will once again be hosting the Community Forums Project in Botwana. CFP is a grassroots initiative to promote education and awareness about HIV/AIDS and its stigma in Botswana, with a special emphasis on the health needs of women and girls. IWDC works in partnership with Emang Basadi - the National Women's Association of Botswana to facicitate CFP and challenge the community to devise strategies and plans of action that they can use to combat the HIV/AIDs epidemic.
