Re: [APWW-Meet] NGO Forum: Convenor's Group Meeting

["Professor Konai Helu Thaman" <thaman_k@usp.ac.fj>]

Welcome to the APWW-Meet
An announcement list of the Asia Pacific Women Watch network
working for the advancement of the status of women.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Luz:

I do not have the detailed addresses of the women I mentioned.  However, I'm sure 
that if someone looked up their information in the Internet they should be able to 
access their contact addresses. FEMlink should also be able to help.

Cheers

Konai

Dear Prof. Konai Helu Thaman:

Thank you for writing and the suggestion of adding more women from the Pacific. 
At this time we do have several women from the Pacific on the list as I have 
received lists from NCWF, Pacific Women's Bureau, Femlink Pacific and other 
women. However, I don't think we have all the women you have listed below. Can 
you please send me their contact information?  If you know of other women who 
want to be part of the list and to become involved in the NGO Regional Forum, 
please let me know.

Thank you,
Luz
