GALA POSTPONED TO 2013

Picture
In light of Hurricane Sandy, we have decided to postpone our gala, “Celebrating Five Years of Indo-Caribbean Women Creating Change,” as well as our Women’s Empowerment Summit, which would have taken place on November 9th and 10th. While we were looking forward to celebrating our fifth anniversary, we feel it is more appropriate and important for us to support those affected by this disaster. 

The gala will instead take place in 2013, and we will be gathering volunteers to help with the Sandy relief effort on Saturday, November 10, 2012.  Please click here to see our full announcement. 

During the period of Indian Indentureship (1838-1917), Jahajee Bhai and Jahajee Bahen (Ship Brother and Ship Sister) were terms used by our ancestors to unify and support each other in the midst of the arduous voyage by sea from South Asia to the Caribbean.  Despite adversity, they were able to forge bonds, survive and thrive.  In this spirit, Jahajee Sisters seeks to build community and power to address critical issues challenging Indo-Caribbean women.
