How we began…In 2006, a few women came together with an idea. An idea to create a local charity comprised of Chaldean American women who can help those in need, preserve our heritage and enrich the community through awareness and advocacy, promote voluntarism, and provide spiritual enrichment. To incorporate these ideas, the women created opportunities for the community to learn more about the charity and participate in scheduled events.
