WE ARE AT 15 DAYS FROM the #WALK2ENDFGM

We can no longer say, “Next Month” for the 2-day October event.  We are now in the long-anticipated month of October. So we continue the countdown to the 18th and 19th with only 15 days to the 6th #walk2endfgm.   Register at www.globalwomanpeacefoundation.org, select the pink “Register to Walk” button, and be a part of this memorable event. 

If you are wondering why you should register, donate or support this event, here is what F.A. Cole had to say:  “I have benefited greatly from the services provided by Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation. Not only have I received an award from this outstanding organization for my activism work against female genital mutilation, I have been privileged to volunteer at one of their Walks and just 2 years ago, they sponsored me to have the restorative surgery – the first woman they have sponsored for the surgery.  At age eleven, (34 years ago) I forcibly underwent FGM and through divine connection, Ms. Angela Peabody and I met, and it has been like a mother-daughter relationship since. Ms. Angela truly cares for and about the survivors of FGM, and her organization has been a blessing, not just to me but many like me.  If it had not been for her, Global Woman P.E.A.C.E Foundation and their donors, I would not have been #ReUNITeD with my hooha.  That said, I would like to say a huge ‘Thank You’ to Global Woman P.E.A.C.E Foundation and their donors for the wonderful work they do. I hope God richly blesses them.”

Please help support us so there can be many more women like F.A. Cole.  Would you join us and support us?

  1. One thing I’d like to say is always that car insurance termination is a dreaded experience so if you’re doing the correct things as a driver you will not get one. Some people do get the notice that they are officially dropped by their insurance company they have to fight to get additional insurance after the cancellation. Low-cost auto insurance rates are frequently hard to get from cancellation. Having the main reasons concerning the auto insurance cancellation can help people prevent losing one of the most significant privileges obtainable.

  2. Thanks for giving your ideas with this blog. As well, a myth regarding the banks intentions when talking about property foreclosures is that the bank will not take my installments. There is a degree of time the bank requires payments every now and then. If you are very deep in the hole, they will commonly require that you pay that payment completely. However, that doesn’t mean that they will not take any sort of repayments at all. In the event you and the loan company can seem to work anything out, this foreclosure process may cease. However, when you continue to pass up payments wih the new system, the foreclosure process can pick up exactly where it left off.
