- Hello Pauline
thank you so much for your valuable contribution to our Women for a Change discussion. I've left a reply for you then came here to visit you properly.
I'm very interested indeed in your work. We have many women from Uganda in our Women for a Change Community and it would be lovely to see you there, if you have the time to join at some point.
One of my co-Directors is also from Uganda and we are in the process of registering WFAC Uganda. So I had to drop by and let you know.
Lovely to connect with you,
and thanks again,
Chris
