WOMENS INSTITUTE -THE WI AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND
Established 97 years ago the Women's Institute (WI) was at the forefront of communities across New Zealand last week from the 8th October to the 14th October.which was Awareness Week.Life for WI members today is much different from when the organization begun,but the core value remains as relevant today ,to encourage and support all women within their communities,wherever they are whatever their need.With more than 4000 members across the country the organization can be found in cities and small communities with groups as small as six and as large as 80+ with members ranging in age from 10 to over 90.
As a collective, WI members have and are donating knitting to rest homes Hospitals, baking, groceries ,hospital dolls,emergency hospital bags,and many thousands of dollars each year to causes up and down the country.
This also includes supporting$15,000.00 Medical Research Scholarship every two years.This year it was awarded to Dr Jinny Yoon of Auckland University under supervision by Professor Danesh-Meyer researching Nailfold Capillary changes in Glaucoma.
Fun Friendship and making communities a better place to live is at the heart of WI The hugely popular Calendar Girls movie made an impact across the UK and the World and it is hoped that WI Awareness last week will impact across New Zealand.
