Why am I a Soroptimist?
Avasha says …. “I am a Soroptimist because of the “Sisterhood”, built on trust, that is shared amongst members. When we phenomenal women, “my tribe”, stand together, work together in sharing our skills and talents, we are able to change the lives of girls and women in our community. We are able to realise not just the vision that we have for ourselves, but for our sisters, daughters and mothers.
