Testimonial From Huairou Commission

Editors Note:

We were blessed with a visit from The Huairou Commission.  We were pleased to support them in their good work.  The following is a letter we received from the Administrative Director:

 

May 30th, 2009

Beloved people of God at Stony Point:

 Inside this envelope you will find words of appreciation for your fantastic hospitality ministry.  These cards represent the collective spirit of the members of the Huairou Commission.  Our time here has been immensely productive and this could not have happened without your incredible and intentional commitment to serve.  Know that your support has greatly contributed to many social justice issues around the globe.  Your care and loving ways has helped the empowerment of grassroots women all over the world to create safer cities, reclaim the land from which some groups (ethnics or widows) are forced out, have acess to the land as producers and head of households and safe housing in livable conditions, and also to alleviate and organize the communties affected by HIV/AIDS epidemic, as well as further developing our Governance campaign.

 

We are profoundly moved for your willingness to accomodate all of our needs, for your flexibility to do whatever it took to support the work we came to get done.

 

Both staff and volunteers were amazing and the love and care you gave us, was also spread among us, in turn it came back down to your grounds during our final circle of unity, affirmation of endless time, love and commitment to go into the world and continue the work we are called to do.  We are women working towards the empowerment of grassroots women all over the world.  In this gathering you were visited by women from Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Russia, The Czech Republic, Philippines, Korea, India, Nepal, The Netherlands, Canada, The United States, Jamaica, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and probably, I am forgetting to name a few more countries at this time.

We are grateful to the Friends of Stony Point Center for their generous support of our mission.  They recently funded a much needed face-lift to our reception area in Lakota.  It's been a joy to watch guests be comfortable as they relax after a meal or read the paper before their meeting.  Blessings to our dedicated 'Friends'.
