CIRCLE CONNECTIONS
	U.N. Women's Circles Connecting

I am the President and Founder of S.A.R.A.H. (Spiritual And Religious Alliance for Hope) a women's interfaith organization. I serve as a Trustee for the North American Region of the United Religions Initiative, Board member of The Interfaith Youth Council of Orange County, The Religious Diversity Institute and co-founder of I Am Jerusalem. Several of your members are "associates" in the field of the field of the interfaith women's movement and I am simply unsure how we never knew about the UN Women's Circle before!! Our latest initiative at SARAH is R.I.S.E. (Raising Inspiration, Seeding Education) to provide avenues, programs, etc for children and girls at risk, whether it be in impoverished communities and countries, or in our own back yard. Please visit our site to learn more about SARAH at www.sarah4hope.org as it's far too much information to share in this space! As Leader of the URI, I am also involved in issues relating the UN and the MDG's in particular. I would like to submit an application for SARAH to join your UN Women's Circle.
