These Warriors have been fighting for causes in the community for years and that’s why Bernia Williams and her non-profit organization Woman to Woman recognized about a dozen women at a special even held Sat., Dec. 5 at the Wichita State University Hughes Metroplex. Keynote presenters for the luncheon program were Jill Docking and Dr. Daisy Kabagarama.
While the fundamental purpose of the awards program was to honor the contribution of unique women who have given tirelessly to the shaping and building of the community, the event was also a fundraiser to help Woman to Woman to continue its efforts to help women returning home from prison successfully re-enter society and become productive citizens. Founded in 1999, the organization seeks to assist women with housing, clothing, computer skills, employment, healing, life skills, and spiritual guidance. Your financial support and prayers are greatly appreciated.
