We are very glad you join our community: welcome to Pulse Wire! I am sure your stories and experiences will be inspirational to many of us! Thanks.
Welcome
Gertrude.... Welcome to the PulseWire community. Here, you will find women who have dared to speak out using technology to raise their voice, when they might otherwise be silent. They are making connections crossing oceans, continents, and cultural barriers to change the way they live. Stories are being told, movements are being started and laws are being reformed as lives are transformed. You are now a member of this vibrant community and I look forward to reading more about your ideas and dreams for how collaborative technologies can advance human rights. I know that you will find this to be a positive experience.
Also, please take a moment to browse through our group directory (http://www.worldpulse.com/pulsewire/groups) where you may find a group with similar interests to your own. Or, you may wish to consider starting your own group where you can build a powerful network bringing together PulseWire members with similar visions who want to share ideas or actions. With the group journal, you can brainstorm solutions, pose questions, test ideas and create a support network for your visions.
It is voices such as your own that have transformed lives and I look forward to reading more from you. Again, welcome and thank you for joining PulseWire.
