I feel a little bit overwhelm however, I believe in the power of women working together



For quite some time, I have been helping a few African Women refugee here in my town, but I used to do it in my back garden over the weekend or whenever I am off work. However, the group has gone bigger and more women need my help and we cannot all fit in my back garden. When I started doing this in my back garden, I never thought that I would one day be researching and spending a lot of time online to try and find someone to guide me with where to get help to have a venue where I could do some activities with these ladies. I am emailing people, but no success, ringing, and finally, I spoke to someone who said to me that I needed to have a constitution in order to apply for funding, but how do I write this? I finally managed to write this and it has taken me quite some time. Now, what should I do next? In the meantime, I am getting a lot of text messages, phone calls from my ladies asking me when we are meeting again as so many of them need my help .... I did not know it was going to be this hard to just find a venue for our meeting. I used to accompany some, to shops to show them things to buy for the kitchen, etc, but now I can't afford driving them or going out quite often because there s more of them and I just can't afford. so I feel like screaming aahhhhh. However, I am not giving up. I will keep on trying as I believe that empowering women is important and together we can do great things for our society.
