In 2012, Mrs. Jun Soon Moon delivered the keynote at the “Living for the Sake of Others” awards ceremony.
The annual “Living for the Sake of Others” awards ceremony will be held April 25th in Paraguay.
Last year, Dr. Moon and Mrs. Jun Sook Moon attended the “Living for the Sake of Others” awards. Mrs. Moon delivered the keynote address where she noted:
Women have increasingly important roles to play today in our communities and nations. In fact, many today talk about this being the “age of women.” I believe you will also agree that women bring unique qualities to whatever roles we play. In fact, it has been said that women hold up one-half of heaven.
Join GPF-Paraguay on Live Stream at 7pm, in Asuncion, as they recognize the contribution of these remarkable women.
