NEWS! EILEEN FISHER Women's
Boutique Fashions
is sponsoring
WOMEN'S VOICES in Santa Fe.
This has motivated us to go non-profit immediately. We are
pleased to be accommodated under the Rape Crisis Center's
non-profit umbrella.
This year, Women's Voices has taken
on several "Hard Issues:"
the Local Refugee Situation: Asian, Iraqi, and African.
Families arrive in Albuquerque and often have to wait a long
time for their green or social security cards. They have great
needs for mentoring to help them solve challenging problems.
We are also looking into Human Trafficking. Maria Sanchez
Graina of the Attorney Generals' Office alerted us to the
exploitation of adults and children being brought across the
New Mexico-Mexican border.
We are hoping to extend our outreach to these desperate groups.
If you wish to volunteer, please let us know by return e-mail.
