Hello Everybody!

UNPAC's Annual General Meeting is just around the corner...

The AGM will be held Thursday, May 29 at 6:30 pm in room 2M73 at the University of Winnipeg. We hope you can join us as we announce our upcoming project entitled: "Women's Economic Participation Mentorship Project."

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.

Following the AGM, beginning at 7:30 pm, we will be screening the documentary film "View from a Grain of Sand" by Meena Nanji.

View From a Grain of Sand is a journey through the last 30 years of Afghanistan's history as lived by three Afghan women. Shot over the last three years in Pakistan and Afghanistan, a doctor, teacher and social activist tell how their lives were violently affected by wars of international making and three different regimes in Afghanistan. Yet through all their loss, and the destruction of their homes and country, these women have endured.

Sincerely,

Mandy Fraser, Co-Chair
