Good news on the front of my contribution to women's rights:
I went back home this weekend for my fall break and discussed my idea for a women's shelter with my minister. I phoned him a couple weeks ago when I had the idea, and he did some research.
Apparently the only other women's shelter in the tri-county area is pretty small and run down.
That being said, the idea was given priority. There's one pressing matter in the community that has the church's top priority, but if not this winter, then probably next year.
Either way, good news to be had! This calls for some dancing!
