Every woman has pearls of wisdom to share and these pearls don't come by chance. Through challenges and obstacles, they are shaped and formed and it is in the act of sharing these pearls that their real beauty begins to shine. Lives are changed and communities transformed.

Owing to the impact of the Canterbury earthquake and resource challenges for World Vision New Zealand, we have had to reprioritise activity and resources accordingly.

Girls Night Out has been a great vehicle to engage with the Christian community and we hope to develop this event further to achieve even greater success. But at the moment the decision has been made to put this event on hold until the end of 2011. This will allow World Vision New Zealand to put time and resource into strategically redeveloping and launching the event at a later time.

We thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you at a future Girls Night Out in 2012.
