2013 Country of Study - New Zealand/Aotearoa


  
From the ACWW/International & Community Support Committee of the Country Women's Association of Victoria Inc. - Merry Xmas and our very best wishes for 2013
With 2012 almost at an end, reflections on the Year are useful before starting 2013.
It has been a very productive year.
Community Support:
members have continued to strongly supported this area in our Association- both in local areas and the South Pacific.
The projects with Corrections Victoria and another with many Maternal and Child Health nurses in various parts of the State have been of great interest and value. The knitted teddies and dolls that members sending in are just delightful.

The women of Los Palos, Timor Leste have received sewing goods and birthing kits.
A range of goods have been sent to other sister societies in the South Pacific as well.
Country of Study:
Cambodia has not only been enjoyable, especially exploring food of Cambodia, it has also been interesting. Culturally a very different country facing many challenges. 
Women Walk the World:
an event that members took to their hearts, connecting with women around the world.
