INWF Conference – 28,29,30 May 2007
Feminist in Action: Women creating Resources for a Better Life
Women’s funds share knowledge and strategies
A beautifully located hotel – close to the historical town Yalta on the Ukraine peninsular Crimea – was the well chosen place for this year’s conference of the International Women’s Funding Network (IWFN). A couple of new women’s funds as well as many new representatives participated in this 3 days conference, excellently hosted by the Ukraine Women’s Fund. One of the newcomers, Ingrid Verver from Mama Cash, reports on her conference experiences.
On the hot summer evening of May 27, the Mama Cash team arrived at the Kichkine Hotel nearby Yalta. Tina, Olena and a lot of other women gave us a warm welcome and arranged beers and a nice plate of food. What is better after a long trip than a cold beer on a warm terrace? Immediately Josephine, Janet, Gabrielle, our board member Marjolein and I felt at home.
