The Young Members held a very successful fund-raising event in March and launched the year’s activities for FAWG. The Young Members marked International Women’s Day with an evening of festivities titled: Woman – in celebration of you. A night of art, dance, poetry and song. This was very well attended.
A scholarship recipient, Doreen Prasad who is doing Advanced Diploma in Civil Engineering at the FIT, was also on hand to share her story and thank FAWG members in person!
