IWG Tunis Update
Dear Ladies,
May is a meaningful month at IWG Tunis's charity history. In this month, we have identified and donated (or being donated) our charity fund to two very good charity projects.
One project is to build a play ground for the students at the Association Ferme Therapeutique pour Handicapés in Sidi Thabet. Samia Ben Ammer kindly organised a visit for us to meet the President, Madam Gasmi and identified the project. On May 7th, we donated our IWG fund to support the project at our second visit to the Association.
Another project is to install a gas pipeline for the Association Nationale du Soutien des Déficients Auditifs (ASDA) in Borj Cedria. Many ladies are familiar with ASDA as Samia organised a couple of times visits to the Association. During those visits which happened in winter, we noticed, all ASDA's students suffered coldness in their classrooms and same as teachers in their offices. Now the ASDA decides to raise fund to install a gas pipeline to resolve the problem completely. Samia kindly brought the project details which made our decision of IWG's participation very quickly. Tomorrow, IWG's charity fund will be donated to the ASDA project. Here, I would like to thank Samia specially for her great contribution in finding these two charity projects.
When we talk about IWG Charity, I must mention Marianne Rauhe. Marianne joined IWG Tunis 2.5 years ago. Since she joined us, she has been always participating IWG's charity activities. She also volunteered to serve at different charity associations in Tunis. Marianne is leaving Tunis soon for a new destination, I want to thank her warmly for her participation and contribution to the IWG Charity. Let us wishing her all the best at her new place!
Here, I would also like to thank particularly those kind ladies who donated different items to the local charities. Your generosity is highly appreciated. And your kind action will be always remembered.
May is also a beautiful month for many cultural events.
On May 22, I and many IWG ladies had great honour and pleasure listened Sandhya's presentation "An Artist and Her Universe" at IWG's May Coffee Gathering. I am a student at Sandhya's IWG Oil Painting Group. Same as my friends in the Group, during our nearly 2-year-study period, we are approached often by many people who are interested or curious about our progress. I am very happy to announce, some of our oil painting studies will be presented at the 2014 IWG Art Fair at the Elyssa Club in Sidi Bou Said on Saturday, May 31. The entrance is for free. You are most welcome to visit us! For detailed info, please see attached PDF flyer.
Since this Saturday, next to Elyssa Club in Sidi Bou Said, there are another two events - "Sebil Kermesse" and "Vide - Grenier" (Details info attached) are also taking place, I highly recommend everybody to reserve some time and visit these 3 events together, spend a relaxing and pleasant Saturday. Hope to see you there!
Thanks for your support!
