The WaterIsLife.com Team participated in the Women’s Conference 2009 in Long Beach! Over the two days, more than 20,000 women gathered to share unique journeys with a powerful community of women and be united under one theme – Be Who You Are…An Architect of Change.
WaterIsLife.com sponsored a booth at the Night at the Village which sold out with over 10,000 attendees. The Village really was the place to be as women had a chance to meet and mix and mingle with – and be inspired by – world class speakers, best selling authors, chefs and true Architects of Change.
In the opening ceremonies Maria Shriver said “Women should learn to trust ourselves and have confidence – self trust, an idea whose time has come.”
WaterIsLife.com made amazing connections with so many Architects of Change, and discussed partnerships with many organizations and individuals wanting to help children obtain clean water around the world. One of the cool moments of the conference was a chance to talk with Dr. Jane Goodall. “Every individual counts. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.”
Premal Shah, Founder of kiva.org shared his insight into starting the organization which provides micro-loans to low-income entrepreneurs. He said, “dont’ seek to be validated, don’t ask for permission or approval, just get started! What great advice Premal! Get involved, be an Architect of Change, and help bring clean water to children around the world!
The team is looking forward to next year’s conference – and hoping to be blessed with a corner booth again! Thanks to all that stopped by and had such interest and support for WaterIsLife.com , and bringing clean water solutions to children around the world.
