International Women's Day

This afternoon, Alic, Eva, Ferrida,Qing nian, Barbark and I got to 9th floor and joined in a light refreshment of International Wenmen's Day. There were many goluptious foods. At first, We all gravitated towards the food. There were a beautiful and sweety cake, some India food and fruit. Women came from different place talked with each other in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.  For a little while, Joseph also joined us. We took pictures and cheered. Then we went into a meeting room to listen two Speekers about wemen right. I liked the first speaker's voice very much. Her voice was very magnetic and I easily to be attracted. A good singer, I thought at that time. Acturally, It was true, She sang very well. I liked to enjoy, althought it was a India song. She immagrated from India with her parents when she was one. And for her first 20 years, she said she didn't know why her mother was always at home, but her father could go outside and work. Even her mother always reminded her never speak too much at school. But her teacher in Canada always wrote,"Less speak, Less activity!" in her report card. After another 20 years, she realized how hard her mother was and got to know why wemen in her hometown were always lower than men. It was hard for her to chage, but she could write music and sing out. The second speaker was also came from India. And she had a tarff experience. Her mother died of cancer when she was young. She had to take care of the whole family,her younger brother and sister, even her father. So she had to work for the family. When she got marriage, the situation still did not change. So she tried her best to devote her for the fighting for women's right.
