At a time when the world is celebrating the existence of women, the SHADES Women’s Club was launched last Saturday evening at the Georgetown Cricket Club. The event saw a successful turnout of more than 130 people in attendance.
SHADES was founded a month ago in Guyana by Lynn Medford-Ronnkvist, although its trustees are in Switzerland. The non-profit trust seeks to create a platform for women from all walks of life to have meaningful connections with each other and with women facing financial situations, professional and family backgrounds. The trust hopes to build an environment that caters for the professional and social needs of girls and women in the society. The training provided will aid in the development of its members. All efforts are voluntary, and women barter their skills and services.
