Michelle, I’m from South Africa and I couldn’t get in yesterday either. I am trying here because this is the subject I am interested in.

I want to tell you struggling in Darfur, I am saddened to hear of the hardships that you face every day. I sincerely hope that Physicians for Human Rights and other organisations can assist you and make positive changes in your lives.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. Please know that it has made an impact and that many people do care very much.

Blessed Sisters, your cries are heard by us across the world. We hold you not only in our prayers, but in our campaigns for justice, kindness, compassion and love. We speak of your pain in our writings, on radio, tv, and internet, in church and state.

We hold you close in the center of our women’s circles. You are not forgotten and peace will come as each woman, the world over, takes her stand for her sister. We love you

I live in Italy. But I keep up with the plight of the women in Darfur. My voice to them is dear sisters of the Darfur, I’ve read your message about the situation you live. I’ve been living and working with Sudanese refugees-displaced.

I learnt that you are able to make good out of the most difficult situation. In Cairo I worked with the Sudanese refugee community and my best and close friends were Sudanese ladies ready to help, encourage, pray share the community at large.

From far away I feel very close to each of you and I do pray that the Good Lord of Life keep you all in his safe hand.

May God bless Sudan and you.

Strange, I couldn’t get in yesterday either. But if I make it today this is what I would like to say.

To the women of Darfur: The synopsis of your oppression experienced in camp Farchana is a heartfelt one and an unfortunate reminder of the injustices that still exist in our world.

This manifesto highlighting the inequalities present in your daily lives should be circulated to world leaders everywhere to make evident the structural and physical violence that occurs there regularly…

Thank you again for providing the rest of the world with your personal accounts of life within the camps. Our hopes and thoughts are with you.”

My heart and donations to the SaveDarfur.org/women goes out to the women of Darfur.

I want to mention that women everywhere should do what they can to succeed. I like this one by FIFA.
=======================
Some interesting facts regarding female soccer from FIFA:

•29 million women and girls play football worldwide.

•12 percent of youth players are female.

•Today 135 women’s teams have a FIFA ranking.

•The number of teams for the FIFA WWC Canada 2015 has increased to 24.

As a member of FIFA and AFC, we at the GFA are following the leadership of our governing bodies by sharing the same goals for the continued development of the female soccer player here in Guam.

Some of the major focus areas for developing the female game here in Guam include:

•Implementation of an elite player development program for female players (the GFA national academy).

•Placing more female players into U.S. college soccer programs by exposing our elite players and creating better relationships with potential college programs.

•Development of women’s soccer competitions/leagues.

•Have more women and girls participating in youth, grassroots and outreach soccer development programs.

•Improve the structures/infrastructure dedicated to the women’s game

•Increase the number of women working in the game as coaches, referees and administration.
————————————-

I am so impressed with the development both these female soccer leaders are showing and I look forward to their continued growth.

Any success in any field by women helps all women.
