Happy International Women’s Day / Rose Day!
On this Special day, I wish every woman fulfills her dreams.
I ask each of you to light your Zonta candle to honour International Women’s Day; to remember those women who have helped us change our world. Light this candle in thanks and celebration of those brave women of the past, present and future who have dared and continue to dare to go forward despite the shadows of those around them.
The light of Zonta and Spirit was passed to you. Let us celebrate the achievements and success we have made amd continued to motivate millions.
Happy International Women’s Day!
Governor Sheena Poole
