AWEC Awards Fundraiser

At the Awards Luncheon AWEC honors persons and organizations who are serving the community and world and bringing incredible results against all odds. The founder, Uwa Osimiri-Irving, a Nigerian business women and spiritual chief, met WFWP in Michigan. She always invites a representative from one of our organizations to honor at her awards event because she loves our movement. I was honored to represent our WFWP at this event. I was able to speak for a few minutes and shared about our Founders’ vision of the dignity of women.
