I have just returned from Lebanon, as you know, where a church family of about 50 are distributing food and blankets to 500 refugees each month for 3 months. Apparently, the church was prone to the same navel-gazing tendencies we see here on N. American turf but now it has a focus and the need is urgent, the work effective and it is partnered with good solid help. Overall, it’s the kind of help that really helps.
This weekend I am meeting with Women in Focus Executive, as we do twice a year, to try and determine what the needs of Canadian women are. Somehow it feels less obvious than our Lebanese friends know about their neighbours and so we are asking the question, “What do women need?”
I’m not even sure if it’s the best question but we have to start somewhere.
What would you say is the greatest area of need for Canadian women?
