Stabroek News columnist Stella Ramsaroop has launched Stella’s Sisterhood of Support and Service (S4) Foundation to create a network of women who are committed to helping other women.
In a press release Ramsaroop said, “Everyday we see Sisters who are hurting, or lonely or broken in spirit and we do nothing to help. We cannot spare the time or we cannot get involved. I am simply asking my Sisters to please make the time. Please get involved. Please be a Sister.”
The S4 Foundation embraces the ethos of this statement by 19th century poet Matthew Arnold who said, “If ever the world sees a time where women shall come together purely and simply for the benefit of humankind, it will be a power such as the world has never known.” Ramsaroop said she believes that now is the time for women to come together.
Persons can access the Foundation’s website at www.S4Foundation.org where daily updates, words of encouragement for women and interactions between “Guyana’s Sisters” and other women worldwide can be found. The Foundation plans to host events and publish material to empower Guy-ana’s women, strengthen the sisterhood in the nation and encourage women to support and help other women.
