Another visit to Brussels










The second weekend in October I took the train to Brussels and attended the Region 4 FAWCO Conference held at the AWC of Brussels in Waterloo. If you're interested in what FAWCO is about and why I'm involved, you can see more at www.fawco.org

As you can see, we mix work with fun but make no mistake, we work hard to try to get some good things done in the world.



The picture above is of the group on the day we learned about the Well Deserved Desserts program, one way our local clubs can raise funds to build wells for the Tabitha Project in Cambodia (http://www.fawcofoundation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=169&Itemid=137). In about 30 minutes we raised $210 - enough for another well!!!

Here's a video clip for you to think about. In an effort to raise awareness about our Target Water Project and the water crisis our world faces, please take a look at this:




Our goal is to raise $80,000 for the project, and we're now more than halfway there!

What else do we talk about at such conferences? Here's another example of what is important to us:
