New Dawn's Women's Day Celebration
On the crisp morning of August 28th, we gathered at the scenic Parkview Golf Course to celebrate Women’s Month in a meaningful and uplifting way. Attendees arrived early, greeted by the aroma of a delicious buffet breakfast and the warm camaraderie of friends, colleagues, and supporters. This gathering wasn’t just about enjoying a meal together; it was an opportunity to celebrate the empowerment of women, skill-building, and community support.
The morning began at 7:00 AM with a hearty buffet breakfast. The excitement was palpable as guests took their seats, ready to connect, share stories, and recognize the strides made toward empowering women. From inspirational conversations over coffee to the joyful sounds of laughter filling the room, it was a morning that emphasized the strength and solidarity within our community.
One of the highlights of the event was the thoughtfully prepared goody bags, each filled with delightful surprises. These bags weren’t just any giveaways; they were handcrafted by the skilled women of Saris for Change, a transformative initiative led by Rayana Edwards.
This program provides unemployed women with training and opportunities to repurpose beautiful, donated saris into unique items. The initiative is more than just a creative endeavour—it’s a lifeline that fosters economic independence, offering meaningful skills to women who are ready to build brighter futures. The sari bags symbolized the power of community-driven change, reminding us all of the impact that comes from supporting one another. Rayana Edwards’ vision shone through, with each handcrafted item serving as a testament to resilience, dedication, and artistry.
Throughout the morning, attendees enjoyed a range of activities, from sharing in the buffet to partaking in prize giveaways that added a layer of fun and excitement. It was a celebration of community spirit and the generous support that makes such initiatives possible.
Reflecting on the day, the gathering was a beautiful reminder of how women’s empowerment is often a community effort, driven by support, encouragement, and access to opportunities. This event did more than honour Women’s Month; it reinforced our shared commitment to uplifting women and creating spaces for them to thrive.
As the morning drew to a close, the sense of fulfilment and connection lingered long after the last goody bag had been handed out. The Women’s Month Celebration at Parkview Golf Club was an unforgettable reminder of what we can accomplish together. Here’s to more gatherings, more growth, and more opportunities to celebrate and support women’s journeys.
