PASSING ON THE GIFT OF INSPIRATION:

I am a woman,

poor but proud, invisible but invincible,

a natural resource with unlimited potential.

I am important.  I am ready for change.

Given a choice, given a chance,

I will participate, strive, achieve.

I will improve my community and contribute to society.

You can help.

With tools, with knowledge and opportunities,

I am someone - one of many,

working together to overcome prejudice,

fight poverty, wage peace,

for our children,

for our future.

I am a wife, mother, sister,

daughter, partner,

force, leader.

I am powerful.
