IWAG Announces 17th Winter Fair
The International Women’s Association Georgia (IWAG) has announced that the annual Winter Fair 2016 will be held at the Radisson Blu Iveria Hotel on Saturday, December 3, from 10 am to 6 pm.
The aim is to raise funds with a view to supporting projects in Georgia with a focus on women, children and elderly people who are at risk due to poverty, poor health and disabilities.
Most projects deal with social, educational or medical issues all over Georgia.
All the work accomplished for this purpose by IWAG and its partners is volunteer work.
Traditionally held in the pre-Christmas period, this is the 17th Winter Fair in IWAG history. This year, 24 countries and two international organizations will participate: Azerbaijan, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Iran, Ireland, Japan, Lithuania, Poland, Qatar, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United States of America as well as NATO and the UNDP, all actively preparing their stands, offering visitors the opportunity to purchase souvenirs, decorations, crafts, and food items from their home countries.
The Winter Fair 2016 is for the whole family! This year it will have a kid’s corner with professional carers.
Come and shop from the numerous Georgian artisans’ tables, sample dishes from around the world and visit Santa Claus for the traditional photo taking!
The International Women's Association Georgia is a non-profit, non-governmental organization and part of the International Women's Association worldwide network. The organization strives to enhance its members’ understanding of Georgia, which enables life to be easier for expatriates. IWAG comprises several social groups such as community services and fundraising. As much as 50% of funds raised at the Winter Fair may be allocated to the focus project- the Anti-Violence Network of Georgia (AVNG). The remaining funds are allocated to other projects carefully selected by the Community Projects Committee (CPC).
