FAWCO and its Relationship to the INC

The International Newcomer's Club is now beginning it's third year as a FAWCO member. FAWCO, founded in 1931, is worldwide non-partisan organization with over 75 Member Clubs representing more than 15,000 individuals in 38 countries throughout the world. A recognized non-governmental organization (NGO) since 1995, FAWCO was granted special consultative status to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations in 1997.

The organization and INC have one basic factor in common in that we both enjoy sharing the cultures of the thirty-eight nationalities represented among our memberships. This is, in itself, a very invigorating and rewarding experience!

In our first year as members, INC raised funds which were donated to one of United Nations' Millenium Goals espoused by FAWCO-- the quest for the eradication of malaria. This was accomplished by painless fundraising organized by the club's FAWCO Team for our members' enjoyment.

FAWCO's philanthropic arm, the FAWCO Foundation administers several grants--two of which are reserved strictly only for FAWCO members.

ANY member of a FAWCO Club is a member of FAWCO. Therefore, ALL members of INC are members of FAWCO.If you are interested in learning more about FAWCO, log onto the organization's website at http://www.fawco.org.

The FAWCO Team at INC announces activities in Nuevas Amigas and in the weekly on-line e-News. Space is usually very limited for any given event, so it is wise to sign-up as soon as possible OR forward your contact information to the FAWCO Team so you can be advised of different activities as they develop and are open for sign-ups.

We look forward to seeing you at our FAWCO FUNdraisers!
