If you didn't watch the A Spirited Journey: The Seven Women Documentary tonight you still have one more chance.

There are actually two but I can't promote that you watch in lieu of our won meeting tomorrow night. But you can watch it on Friday 22nd October 21 at 7.30 pm. If you haven't been following my previous references to this then strongly recommend you watch this short 2-minute preview of this amazing and uplifting film go to: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QRpIFGrzCYM

This is the uplifting and inspiring story of a visionary social enterprise that has changed the lives of thousands of previously marginalised women in Nepal, as it follows a group of open-minded and open-hearted participants from all around the world on their 10-day Seven Women cultural immersion experience in Nepal.

This documentary will inspire you, move you and show you that sustainable social change is possible, and also truly amazing in the scale of its positive impact. This is the story of a group of remarkable Nepalese women who, as a result of our sustainable social enterprise model, have been empowered to change their lives - from being marginalised and cast aside to now being strong and proud, self-sufficient, and beaming with joy and happiness.

Filmed in 2019, the documentary follows a group of Seven Women supporters from across the globe who travelled to Nepal with the Seven Women and Hands-On Development Founder Stephanie Woollard, OAM. The film vividly captures the life-changing impact of their experiences, when they meet and directly work with the Nepalese women whose lives have been empowered through education, skills training, and income generation.

This is a stirring story of courage, resilience, and strength as these women seek to create a better life for themselves, their families, and other women in Nepal.

Speakers

Well, last week's speaker Dorothy Gilmour provided a really insightful presentation on the Rotary Safe Families program. It really gave good information about the effects of family violence and advice on what to do if you think you can see someone is a victim of it. It really is a good program and she invited us to join other Rotary clubs in becoming a Rotary Safe Families Club
