Dear Sisters and Friends,
I hope that you are all well. In this IPA Justice Desk Update I offer three items for your interest and perusal!
Firstly:
You are invited to a special Webinar to celebrate Act to Prevent Trafficking in Ireland (APT Ireland) at 20 years of Age. I have been asked to speak at this and it would be great to have your support at this event. You should also know that the Presentation Sisters were among the founding members of APT Ireland. I have asked all the other Sisters in APT to ask their Provinces to attend in the same way that the Presentation Sisters do when I am involved so I am hoping that we will see you on the 24th at 7pm. Thanks in advance. Register HERE
Secondly:
I offer an invitation to a webinar that is taking place on Feb 12th at the UN where our NGO Rep at the UN Dr. Despoina Afroditi Milaki will be moderating a webinar entitled "Upholding Human Dignity: Addressing Homelessness through Inclusive Social Protection"
And Thirdly:
I offer the latest IPA Update - newly titled the Lantern where you can catch up with all the news from our IPA friends.
Thanks for your support and interest in all that we do at the Justice Desk for Ireland and England.
