About Girls Gotta Run:
The Girls Gotta Run Foundation (GGRF) is a volunteer organization funded in 2006 to raise funds to provide support for impoverished Ethiopian girls who are training to be runners. Training to be athletes allows them to stay in school, avoid early marriage, and gain personal independence. Besides athletic shoes, GGRF provides money for training clothes, extra food ("calorie money"), coach subsidies, and other training-related expenses.
By supporting these aspiring athletes, Girls Gotta Run provides Ethiopian girls the chance to improve not only their lives but also their families and communities.

“Women Helping Women: Stitch by Stitch”
Afghan Women’s Collaboration with the
Women’s Caucus for Art Philadelphia Chapter
Exhibition: May 2, 2008-May 31, 2008
City County Building, Wilmington, DE
The WCA-Philadelphia has partnered with Rubia to organize the collaborative project, entitled: “Women Helping Women: Stitch by Stitch.” The project involved the creation of a quilt, which showcases the work of women from Darrai Noor, Afghanistan and over 25 American women artists from the Women’s Caucus for Art and Rubia. These large embroidered tapestries are fine examples of the culture of embroidery in Central Asia and its association with women, in particular.
The United States artists observed the embroidered motifs found in Rubia’s handwork, which include the poppy, the peacock, and the swirling sun as found on the Rubia Website (http://www.rubiahandwork.org). Each square piece is an interpretation of a Rubia embroidery. The Women’s Caucus for Art Philadelphia chapter assembled the larger tapestry combining embroidery from Afghan women and each artist’s 10 x 10 inch piece to create an impressive and intricate tapestry.
The show will debut at the Redding Gallery in the City County Building in Wilmington, DE. The show will then travel to the Grace Episcopal Church in Merchantville, NJ. Shows across the nation are pending approval as many artists wish to see the quilt exhibited their home towns. The quilted piece will be showcased at the DC Chapter’s Networking Day at the Arts Club of Washington, DC on April 5.
Rubia is a project of Social Environmental Entrepeneurs (SEE), a registered 501(c) [3], which provides non-profit status. Rubia serves women in Afghanistan, offering education, skills training and income opportunities through the promotion of their traditional handwork. Rubia is committed to building sustainable business in a fragile environment, empowering women while respecting traditional ways, reviving and preserving traditional crafts.
“Women Helping Women: Stitch by Stitch” opens with “Environmental Distress: Work by the Women’s Caucus for Art, Philadelphia Chapter” May 2, 2008 at the Redding Gallery, City County Building, Wilmington, DE. Live Performances by Sigma Alpha Iota Women’s Music Fraternity, Temple University Chapter, FREE.
