It is indeed gratifying to look back on last year's hopes for 2016 and see that FAWCO has achieved its goals.

• FAWOC adopted a new logo, tagline and updated Mission Statement.
• The third FAWCO Target Program, Education - Empowering Women and Girls through Knowledge and Skills, got off to a great start and 18 project applications were submitted.
• FAWCO and The FAWCO Foundation Symposium and FAWCO Experience were successful events that gave FAWCO and the Foundation global exposure.

• FAWCO hosted 116 delegates at the annual meeting in Frankfurt.
• Fourteen FAWCOites attended CSW60 and FAWCO co-sponsored a panel at the CSW60 NGO Forum.
• Seven FAWCO teens were hosted by AWC Dublin for the 2016 Cultural Volunteers Program.
• FAWCO was represented at OAW 2016 in Washington.
• Nearly $30,000 was raised at Foundation Night 2016 and over $8,000 at the Symposium last October.
