KAISA KA to hold National Congress—Call for Support

March 19, 2008

Dear Friends,

KAISA KA, the women’s organization that first came out in 1998 will be holding its first National Congress this coming May.

It took us that long. But we are proud to declare that now that we are holding this congress, KAISA KA has indeed become a national organization with a sizeable membership and a record of achievements in the women’s movement.

It is high time that we call this Congress. Not only will this consolidate the organization and the gains of the past ten years, but also, and more so, this congress shall unite the organization strongly along more effective means of confronting big threats to Filipino women’s human rights and security.

The congress carries the theme: Sulong Kababaihan! Tumindig, Lumaban, Lumaya para sa sarili at sa bayan! (Women, Advance! Make a Stand! Fight! Be Free for ourselves as women, for the people!)

As this congress will take three days and attendees will have to come from as far away as Zamboanga and Davao, the holding of this activity will cost a minimum of
PhP546, 000.00

We need to raise the amount of PhP 8,875 to for the transportation, food and accommodation, conference kit and travel incidentals for every person coming from the Mindanao area. A delegate coming from Cebu or Negros would need around PhP 7,275.

We are asking for donations to help pay for the food, transportation and rental of the venue. We shall accept cash donations and air line tickets, office supplies or free use any transportation facility.

Please inform us about what you can possibly donate as soon as possible. Please find our contact details below .

Yours truly,


CORAZON D. REQUIZO
