Next Meeting: Tuesday, July 13, 2010

Whittier area WAGH will be meeting on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at 7:00pm to discuss progress for the month and healthy lifestyle goals for the coming month. Keep up the good work and remember the cause!

We got a great progress update from our partner project, "Through the Garden Gate" project, via MEDA's work with women in Afghanistan. About 2375 women farmers are involved in the project.

"I gained respect in the village and I am proud that MEDA gave me so much knowledge to be used and to be shared. All of my children now go to school. I can buy their stationery and new clothes. I am so happy seeing them go to school because it was my dream to have them all educated," shared one participant.

Welcome to WAGH

Introduction
Isn't it ironic that there is an obesity problem in the USA, and yet people are starving throughout the world? What if money for a weight loss program went to impact world hunger, instead of going to support the profitable weight loss industry? WAGH encourages women to build and maintain habits of healthy eating and physical activity for a sustainable lifestyle with the desire to use global resources responsibly. WAGH was created in 2008.

Our Tandem Purpose
1. To raise funds for a reliable organization that works to address issues of poverty and hunger, especially those impacting women and children.

2. To encourage women through shared accountability and personal support to build and maintain habits of healthy eating and physical activity for a sustainable lifestyle with the desire to use global resources responsibly.

Levels of Involvement
• Home Group Participant
• Area Host: coordinate a local group with minimal effort.
• Area Facilitator: encourage others to share at monthly small group gatherings. The format is the same each month and simple to facilitate.
