AWHPI global organization returns to Little Rock to celebrate 20th anniversary
LITTLE ROCK, ARK. - A tree was planted at Bullock Temple CME Church in Little Rock on Saturday to symbolize the root of a mission.
A vow to always advocate for women in the capital city and across the world for better health, well-being and economic empowerment, that took place with the African Women's Health Project founder Princess Dr. Moradeun Ogunlana.
"It represents growth, it represents resilience, it represents hope for the future," Ogunlana said.
It's also a reminder for future generations. "20 years from now, when they come back to this site to see and to recognize what we're doing the work for humanity,y" Ogunlana said.
Her years of endless work and devotion to women and girls across the world have never gone unnoticed by people like Odessa Earrough.
"It's an opportunity for us to be grateful and express our gratitude as a community that comes together…we are better together," Earrough said.
The planted tree, a sign of growth and resilience throughout the capital city, and a way for African Women's Health Project International leaders to pay their homage and respect to where it all started.
"I came back to Little Rock to plant it,” Ogunlana said. “To show them that we care about them and we know that they are the future, and we want to leave them this lasting legacy."
