Compassion Action Foundation’s Building Bridges Women’s Diversity Empowerment Retreat program is very beneficial to all Americans

n this very important election year, Compassion Action Foundation’s Building Bridges Women’s Diversity Empowerment Retreat program is very beneficial to all Americans. The diversity of our country the United States of America gives opportunity to see and engage with countless different cultures. The effectiveness of such a space is spelled out in our Declaration of Independence.

For two days in the DC Virginia area, we shared space around these ideas. Two different cultures equally educated, engage and encouraged each other. We had a verity of workshops, history, communication, health, success and fitness. There was opportunity for spiritual reflection and artistic performance. The food was delicious and a new experience for some. Turkish desert and African American sweet potato casserole were at the top of the list. The sweet potatoes Virginia homegrown from the workshop presenter. She is an amazing master gardener.

Towards the end of the second day, the retreat attendees modeled their cultural fashion with glamor and pride. This is one of the goals of CAF Women’s Diversity Empowerment Retreats, that the attendees leave empowered and educated through engagement.

We are thankful to American Turkish Friendship Association ATFA for hosting and the expert planners. We look forward to more collaboration opportunities.
