Help us celebrate!  One of our own is honored!

Empowering women and girls through micro-enterprise, education and healthcare is our primary focus and we are proud to announce that this idea of women changing the world has a very local connection here in San Diego.

Just two weeks ago our Founder, Vivian Glyck was honored as a winner of the Speak for Success Women’s Leadership Institute “Woman Changing the World Through Transformation” Award.  It is a tremendous honor for Vivian to be considered and then voted as a winner for this humanitarian award.  The Institute shines a spotlight on San Diego’s extraordinary women as leaders who have made significant contributions encouraging, supporting, and empowering women and families in their organizations and communities.

We are so proud of Vivian’s dedication and commitment to transformation for so many women and girls in Uganda.  When we asked her how she felt about the award of course her response was, “it is wonderful awareness and visibility for all of the great programs Just Like My Child is doing to help one of the world’s most impoverished communities.  I am honored by the acknowledgement of the efforts of our entire staff.”

Speak for Success Women’s Leadership Institute helps women overcome abuse and trauma in their lives.  As their President Dana Bristol-Smith explains, “We are the ‘what’s next’ for women who are really interested in reaching their full potential.  I love watching the transformation that happens when women build their self-confidence and self-esteem – they become unstoppable!”

When you read the definition of Speak for Success Women’s Leadership Institute, it makes perfect sense why Vivian was honored by this organization – it is in complete alignment with Vivian’s inspiration for creating Just Like My Child.  Does this sound familiar?  “An extraordinary program that provides an enriching empowerment and leadership program to women overcoming serious adversities including domestic violence, homelessness, addiction, and mental illness.”

Graduates of the Speak for Success program go on to become inspirational leaders in the community, helping others as they themselves succeed.

You don’t have to be nominated for an award or make a huge contribution of time or money to make a difference in a woman’s life.  Giving from the heart is about doing what you can, whenever you can without expecting anything in return.  When you follow you heart and contribute to organizations and events that are aligned with your passions, you receive in more ways that you can imagine.
