Dear BPW Sister,
I come back home after our Congress in Jeju. Thank you to BPW for giving us the chance to create a real friendship with women worldwide.
Year after year we meet again with old friends and we make new friends, hopefully forever.
So many women, so many project… all over the world the silent economic contribution of women is priceless and it is marvellous when it is recognized and empowered.
I was profoundly touched by the women diver story and the museum to their ode. I could see them diving during the after tour and was impressed.
This morning, quietly in my bed, I was imagining diving in the cold water to grab the shells.
Trying to stay 2 minutes without breathing and to pick some shells and then come back to the fresh air.
I love diving and can understand that they love what they do, it was beautiful, but what a hard life!
Day after day, whatever the weather!
As said in the museum : In Jeju, it is better to be a cattle than a woman!
But the women we meet are smiling and charming... where is the secret?
Our future is in our hands... we know it and we are ready to make it happen, all together.
You know how much I enjoy dancing and the last evening was joyful and very energetic... viva Egypt!
Until we meet again I wish you a marvellous summer and hopefully see you in Egypt in 2017 or in Zurich next year!
In sisterhood,
Giselle
