Orange Day!

The  25th of Each Month will be National Orange Day! The United Nations decided the color Orange will represent the elimination of violence against women and girls.  September 25th, be sure to wear something Orange and join the fight in ending violence against women and girls!

The Group of Volunteers

The 25th of October, my agency and about 5 other agencies came together to put together an awareness event.  There was around 25 volunteers walking the streets of St. Johns (the capital) passing out information about signs of abuse, numbers to call if you find yourself in an abusive situation, and information about sexual assault.  It was a true success and I am proud of each individual who took time out on their Saturday to join us.  In my eyes, education is the first step to make any change! 

 The Observer, which is the only daily newspaper on island did an article about the event.  You can check it out HERE
