Education – Cross Cultural Study
“the heart of the matter: touching the lives of women in poverty”
This study is to introduce women into partnership with Women of Vision of Charlotte.
The purpose of this 7 weeks study is to help participants broaden their understanding of the world around them. The stories they will hear, the statistics they will see, the experiences they will share are real. It is designed to introduce women to the harsh realities that their fellow sisters around the world are facing day in and day out. The goal is not only to educate women on the needs of impoverished women, but also to instill in participants the hope that comes from spiritual as well as physical transformation.
This study experience will move participants to become women of decision who then move into needy communities as Women of Vision, women of action.
