Women at their best, working to help other women to be their best

Soroptimist, loosely translated from Latin, means best for women.

SIH is committed to improving the lives of women and girls in Hawaii

through economic empowerment, elimination of violence and gender equality.

Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that provides women
and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment. Soroptimist was formed in 1921 in Oakland, California, at a time when women were not permitted to join service organizations.

SIH is a part of the Founder Region of Soroptimist International of the Americas,

one of five federations that make up Soroptimist International,

which now has over 75,000 club members in 122 countries.

"Mrs. Skipper Jones,

Thank you for your generous donation. I am very happy and appreciative that I have been selected to receive the “Live Your Dream” award.

Last summer, I decided to take a big step to go back to school to obtain an associates in applied science degree in criminal justice. I am currently taking 12 credits per semester and will be completing my first year this May. I am also proud to say that this past fall semester, I earned 4.0 GPA and made the President's List while I work full time. Once I complete my associates, I will be pursuing a degree in criminology.

This award will help lighten my financial burden which will allow me to focus more on the most important aspect of school learning. I hope more people in this world are as phenomenally altruistic as you. It's because of your kindness you have made it possible for me to “Live My Dream”!

Always,

Michelle McCann"
