اين لينك خلاصه ي برنامه ي اقتصادي اين گروه است ... آنهم به فارسي. كلي خوشم آمد كه در وب سايتشان برنامه شان را به كلي زبانهاي مختلف و از جمله فارسي گذاشته اند!
حالا از اين حرفها كه بگذريم خواندن مشخصات اين خانم هم برايم جالب بود. مثلاً كار كردنش در بخش زنان مورد تعرض قرار گرفته ... اينكه در 10 سالگي توانسته يكي از اولين سه دختري باشد كه در بخش مكانيك ماشين كار كند ... اينكه در 12 سالگي در تيم فوتبال مردان بازي مي كند ... كارهايي كه براي زنان خانه دار كرده است ... بد نيست اينرا بخوانيد ... من كه مي روم كه به اين خانم راي بدهم!!

A long-time member of the Council of Canadians and Greenpeace, Sylvia has also taught piano and german and volunteered in a pioneer museum, a community choir, and as a home visitor for the aged. She and her partner are raising 3 boys, and the state of our educational system is of huge concern to her.
