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

[cpchandar@connect.com.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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Thank you for this mail which help keep us informed on progress 
towards the abovementioned Forum.  I wholeheartedly agree with 
the names being mentioned of the great ladies who work towards 
betterment of us women folk.   However, there are several 
smaller NGOs who are affliates of Fiji National Council of Women 
and do outreach work mainly with women of other ethnicity in 
Fiji.  Some of them may be worth including in this Forum.

Wish the organisers a great success.
Warm regards

Chandra Chandar
President, Poor Relief Society
President, Shree Sanatan Dharam Pratinidhi Nari Sabha
