Re: Leading women of the world, May 21

On behalf of members of Mermaid Woman’s Institute, and indeed of all Women’s Institute members in P.E.I., I would like to congratulate Marie Kenny on her appointment as president of ACWW (Associated Women of the World). Thank you to Dave Stewart for this positive article which appeared in The Guardian.

ACWW is our local Women’s Institute members’ global affiliation and has brought to our attention many inequalities women face around the world. We have participated in such fundraisers as Pennies for Friendship, Women Walk the World, and Women Feed the World. Funds support small-scale, community-led projects.

It is a proud day when we can have Marie, from the smallest province of Canada, lead nine million women from 82 countries around the world.

Congratulations and much success!

Donna M. Gallant, Mermaid, P.E.I.
