Hanoi has many womens groups.
As an Australian I belong to the Australian New Zealand womans club, Isabelle is a member of the french womens association “coup de pouce’ though literally translates as ‘a push from the thumb’ ! actually means “a helping hand”.
We all work under the umbrella of the Hanoi International Womens Club and each year our mission is to raise funds for people in need in Vietnam. At a recent meeting, I was touched and proud to be a part of the hands that were raised to approve of an urgent donatation to flood victoms in a village near hanoi who have lost not only most of their homes and schools but also their winter crops.
On every last sunday of November, the International Womans Club with the help of the different country womans groups raises a large amount of money through the Hanoi International Womans Club Charity Bazaar ( http://www.hanoi-iwc.com/ )all of it is donated to people here in need
Velvet Underground is pround to particpate in this Bazaar this year. Its fun, and full of good food, and other treats from around the world.
We have been busy, there is a slight chilll in the air, and we can feel christmas just around the corner…..
