Women ONE2ONE on Capitol Hill
Yesterday, Hill staffers, ONE’s partners, interested visitors and members of the media took time out of their busy schedules to gather with Cindy McCain, actress Connie Britton and Sen. Shaheen on Capitol Hill for the Exhibit Premiere of Women Who Go Beyond: Success Stories from Africa.
To have so many different people – influential in their own way – viewing photos of women who are reducing poverty in their countries and conversing about this issue was a great moment for me and my colleagues. But don’t just take our word for it. Check out what Cindy McCain and Connie Britton had to say about their experiences in Ghana and Sierra Leone and what you can do to help:
The photos, which were taken by ONE’s Morgana Wingard, will be on display in the Russell building on Capitol Hill through Friday, March 12. If you live in the Washington D.C. area, please feel free to stop by and learn about the incredible work women in developing countries are doing for their families, communities and countries.
