Mother's Day Celebration
A Virutal Celebration
World Academy for the Future of Women
May 9, 2020
Dear Family and Friends,
As many of you know, I was supposed to be in China, once again, right now, teaching leadership skills to college students at Sias University. And I know all of you are surprised that I had enough sense not to go at this time.
I really wanted to be in China at this time as it is when my organization holds its annual Women’s Symposium. Over 5000 people attend and there are guest speakers from China and the world. And when I was in China in 2012, my students started the tradition of inviting their mothers to come to this symposium. At that time, parents never came to the campus for any reason. But we started an honor ceremony for the mothers. And each year, the tradition has grown and now many mothers come with their younger daughters as well. And so the ceremony has become more elaborate and more beautiful.
This year, the university is closed. But my organization is going to attempt to hold a virtual ceremony. I am enclosing the details of the event and you are more than welcomed to join me and others as we honor these mothers who do everything they can to educate their daughters.
Happy Mother’s Day
Bridget
