It is at times like this th we Iwk for some light in (Mjr lives when everything around us seems so gloomy. For me ihat lighi is you, the women of WIN. who never fail to inspire me and renew my faith in humanity, which at the moment appears to be in short supply. The respect and understanding that I have witne&sed ihrough the Yea of working for WtN has been truly uplifting. We have laughcd iogethcr. cried together and supported each other in so many ways within the groups and through our rneelings. I know that lasling personal and deep friendships have been forged and we have discovered how much unites us and how little divides us. Next year is WIN'S 2(hh Anniversary and we are organising a year of IcM)king ba¢k at our past and forward to the future. This will be an ¢xciling opportunity for women to express themselves and voice their hopes and concerns. WIN is a continuing beacon of wamith and humanity in a world which is in short supply of both. The name of Women's Interfaith Network is kcoming well known and the work we do is more vital now than ever. As we spend these next few weeks with our family and friends. let us remember those who cannot be with their loved ones and say a fervent prayer for an end to suffering and conflict wherever it may be in the wor]d." End of Year Messa e from Marion Warn WIN EO "Building bridges acro&s divides is what WIN d5 b¢ and this year we have provided many opportunilies for positive aetion, leading to morc women joining us more activities provided and partncrships forged. Since joining WtN in 2005. I can confidently say th WIN has grown in leaps and bounds and has attracted members, staft. Advisory Board Members and Trustees who are very committed to developing the work of WIN. Recently, I tellded the South London Interfaiih Group en1 on bringing peace to The Holy Land during tnterfaith Week, this was a highlight. Given the current situation ihat has brought about increased hatred io the surface across the world, just parti¢ipaling in ihe prayers, readings and poems for peace was my opportunity to support the pffdce efforts at grassroot level. I have been involved in meetings organised by the LA)ndon Borough of Wa]Iham Forest for Faith and Community leaders on how we can work together to support our wrnmunity as ihe tragic events eontinue to unfold in Israel aJ)d Palestine. The role of Faith and Community leaders in supporting residents in such challenging and devastating Sltualions like this is invaluable, especially as we see a rise in hatred and division. On 14th December I took part in the Vigil for Humanity organised by Waltham Forest Council. Two highlights of the year for me - the 10th Anniverwy of East Sussex WIN Group. where they attractal 5 new members. and the Fo(Kl and Friendship projecL the shared meal with asylum seeking women and their families who comc from divcrsc culturdl, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Sharing stories and a yoga session led by one of our Group leaders in such a setting made everyone relax and friendships were developed with women we would oihenvise not have mct. Pagc 2
