Review for Women's Intercultural Center Inc, Anthony, NM, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I have loved the Women's Intercultural Center since before it even came into being. It's earliest beginnings included local women, and the women who found their way to the Center were part of every decision made! Although I am no longer at the border, I know that women's lives are still being enhanced by the classes, the people, and the experience of having a PLACE to be and feel supported and valued. The Center continues to be a place of learning and of laughter, song and dance. I hear from women who are and have been part of the Center, and students who participated in the Border Awareness Experience. It will always be part of so many lives!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

on-going relationships with women I met and saw grow from women hesitant to speak up in a group to becoming part of the staff or go on to community college. I've seen them speak to groups who came to learn about the border. I've seen women who had never been in an art class or a sewing class produce creations that delighted themselves and others. I've seen women struggle to learn English- and succeed. Some of my favorite memories of the Center are the gatherings we had where each woman spoke,

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

not know what to suggest. Methods of communication have changed, and I feel out of touch with the daily functioning of the Center I'm sure it has changed and grown in ways I don't know. I know we always loved our celebrations at the Center, and hope those continue. I hope connections with past staff, participants, and supporters continue.

Role:  Volunteer & I helped to found the Center, and spent 10 years there on the staff and as Director.
