Several of our SVDP-ALC students were so interested in the topic of International Women's Day (which is overseen by the United Nations) that they decided to do research on the topic of women's rights around the world and accomplishments in history by famous women. So, we are planning to observe IWD at SVDP-ALC with six student presentations and speeches on various topics, such as, the life of Joan of Arc, Mother Teresa, Sacagawea, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, the rights (or lack thereof) of women in Afghanistan and in Saudi Arabia, and the history of women's suffrage (right to vote) in America. We will cover much more on this story as we approach IWD which is March 8. At SVDP-ALC we will observe IWD on the Thursday before March 8. Our six student presenters will be Jennie, Dwana, Elyria, Ruby, Sr. Silvia, and Linda. Aaron and I will help out organizing the event. (See photos.) And there may be a guest speaker too. So, stay tuned...
