IWG Update
Dear Ladies,
Our IWG's events for the first half year have been completed successfully
by our last coffee gathering at Mövenpick Hotel on June 21, last Thursday.
Looking back at passed six months, we have had many interesting, exciting
and yet meaningful events. We made several charity visits to some Tunisian
charities nearby Tunis and donated part of our IWG charity fund to support
different charity projects. The IWG Spring Bazaar was a first bazaar which held
in spring time in the IWG Tunis history. Because of the participation from many
of us, we achieved a remarkable success. Our ongoing plastic bottle cap
collection for wheelchair is another highlight to reflect the spirit of our IWG Tunis.
Some ladies like, Charmaine even went to the La Marsa beach to pick up the caps.
Fiona also gathered all caps from the golf club. I had a chat with Rim at our last
coffee gathering. She said, till now IWG's collection was for sure more than enough
to get one free wheelchair. Isn't it fantastic! Since this event is so enthusiastically
responded by all of us, we will continue to gather our collection at our next IWG
coffee gathering in September.
As you might know, many IWG members are leaving Tunis for other destinations
in the summer. This means, we will also loss them as good members at IWG Tunis.
I take Sarah Meyer as one of the best examples of those ladies who always being
active and supportive to participate IWG's activities and events. On behalf of entire
IWG Tunis, I say "thank you" sincerely to all of you. IWG Tunis will always remember
your great contributions. Your name will be always mentioned by all of us. I do hope,
you have enjoyed Tunis and the IWG. It is an uneasy moment for me to see friends
leaving....... I wrote this little poem dedicated to those ladies who are leaving us.
Farewell.
Gone with the blue,
blue glass, blue carafe,
and the water inside is also blue.
Gone with the blue,
blue sky, blue mountain, blue sea,
perhaps the air in Tunis is also blue.
Gone with the blue,
don't forget the colour of Sidi BouSaid is also blue.
Gone with the blue,
Sister, your eyes are also blue.
And I know, that must be the reflection of
all blue colours in Tunis.
Gone with the blue,
Bon vogage!
Wish everyone a wonderful summer time and see you all in September!
Meng
