The countdown continues with only 9 days to the 5th #walk2endfgm.   Register at www.globalwomanpeacefoundation.org, select the pink “Register to Walk” button, and be a part of this memorable event.

 

Last week we shared F.A. Cole’s statement about the event next week with you.  This week, we share what Severina Lemachokoti had to say:  “Last year’s Global Woman P.E.A.C. E. Foundation Walk to End FGM, was exciting and very successful, because of the many partners, activists, survivors, health practitioners and the community representatives who attended. I had an opportunity to speak about the importance of the mental health of the FGM survivors and how important it is for the survivors to step up and speak about FGM. As one of the survivors, it is always very traumatizing when we encounter with triggers that make us remember the pain that we went through in the name of culture. The pain of knowing that our family members and those who we love betrayed us when we were still young, and were not able to make rightful decisions pertaining to our bodies.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation for their commitment in educating the communities about FGM and the negative effects it has on young girls and women. I also applaud them for helping the survivors in the process of healing both physically (through the restorative surgeries), emotionally and psychologically. I wish the organization the very best in their future plans.”

Those assignments include getting known the home by way of marketing, offering the home to all buyers, making a sense of buyer desperation in order to make prompt an offer, preparing home inspections, taking on qualification assessments with the mortgage lender, supervising maintenance, and aiding the closing of the deal.
