TO OUR FOUNDER AND INSPIRATION, INDEED YOU HAVE OPENED OUR MINDS, EYES AND HEARTS ON THE ROAD MAP; GPW HAD TAKEN IN THE PAST AND WHERE IT IS GOING. THE WISDOM YOU HAVE IMPARTED TO US IN MANY OF YOUR MANUSCRIPT SHOWED A NEW PARADIGM TOWARDS PEACE, WHICH CLEARLY EMPHASIZED THAT WOMEN HAVE UNIQUE QUALITIES, APTITUDE AND TALENTS TO WHATEVER ROLE WE PLAY. THAT WORLD PEACE IS FINDING A PATH THROUGH WOMEN AND THAT WOMEN CAN MAKE AN INDISPENSABLE CONTRIBUTION TO REALIZE THE DREAM OF ONE FAMILY UNDER GOD.
TO THE REPRESENTATIVES AND ACTIVE WOMEN LEADERS IN THE DIFFERENT GPW CHAPTER GLOBALLY: YOUR PRESENCE HAD ENRICHED THIS WOMEN”S FORUM AS A CULMINATING EVENT OF THIS WOMEN’S MONTH CELEBRATION. THE LEARNINGS AND THE EXPERIENCES SHARED BY ALL OF YOU WITH THE WISDOM OUR SPEAKERS HAS IMPARTED, ALL THESE WILL HELP IN CRAFTING OUR RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATION’S WOMEN AGENDA.
TO OUR DIRECTOR GENERAL, DR. SOONOK KANG, YOUR DYNAMISM AND DEDICATION ARE VERY CONDUSIVE, THAT MADE US WILLING TO DELIVER THE TASK EXPECTED FROM US ON TIME.
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL, WE WERE ENLIGHTENED THAT THERE EXIST IN THE GPW STRUCTURE THAT GUIDES THE DIFFERENT GPW CHAPTERS TO FOCUS ON THREE AREAS: STRENGTHENING FAMILIES, UPLIFTING THE UNIQUE QUALITIES OF WOMEN AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FAMILY AND PROMOTING WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP IN POSITIVE SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION. WITH THIS MEANINGFUL GPW MISSION AND GOALS, ALTHOUGH I AM HUMBLED TO BE RECOGNIZED TO BE PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL, I TAKE PRIDE TO BE PART OF THIS NOBLE ENDEAVOR.
TO THE FEW BRAVE MEN WHO CAME TO JOIN US, WE WISH TO LET YOU KNOW, THIS SO-CALLED STRUGGLE FOR WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVE, IF THE MEN FULLY REALIZE OUR NEEDS AND AGREES WITH US.
