2003 CALENDAR: NEWS1: The Campaign is On

On June 12, 2003, The Global ShareResource Foundation held a successful launching of its campaign "Helping the Poor Respond to Opportunity." Some 100 guests filled the social hall of Central Presbyterian Church on Park Avenue at 64th Street, led by the Permanent Representatives to the United Nations from Afghanistan, Ambassador Ravan Fahardi; Ecuador, Ambassador Carbo Benites; and the Philippines, Ambassador Lauro Baja. Global ShareResource Foundation is funding projects in Afghanistan, Ecuador and the Philippines involving the education and training of children and youth to improve their communities’ economic potential.

The Rev. Douglas Grandgeorge, president of the Foundation and pastor of Central Presbyterian, delivered the invocation that all may focus attention to the damaging effects of poverty in the world. This was followed by short performances depicting the varied and rich cultures of the three countries. The Yurariway-Summy musical group rendered flute and percussion airs from the Ecuadorean Andes, Leeza Ahamady interpreted an Afghan love-dance, and Jane Orendain performed a medley of dances from the Cordillera mountains of the Philippines.

Arts and crafts from the representing countries were on display and on sale. There were rugs, native costumes and jewelry from Afghanistan and hand-made abaca bags and seashell accessories from the Philippines. A glittering repast from Park Avenue Café and Skyline Diner and wine from the Italian Trade Mission contributed to the festive reception. Professor Merle Lyn, treasurer of the Foundation, was the mistress of ceremonies.
