On January 11, 2017, the International Trends and Services facet of the New Orleans (LA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated spent the evening preparing hygiene packs for Watford Hill Primary School in Jamaica. New Orleans Chapter International Trends and Services facet Chairperson Germaine Davillier, thereafter, traveled to  Atlanta, Georgia and, on January 19, 2017, delivered the supplies to Southern Area International Trends and Services Co-Chairperson Thelma Mumford-Glover. Ms. Mumford-Glover and a strong contingent of Links, Incorporated members are traveling to Jamaica under the The Links, Incorporated’s 2nd Global Mission of Hope to Jamaica. The much needed supplies will be delivered to Watford Hill Primary School on January 24, 2017.

One Mission, One Love  is a Southern Area program designed to expand the services offered to people of African descent outside of our Southern Area communities while enhancing awareness of global issues and opportunities among the people that we serve in our Southern Area communities. Waterford Hill Primary School is one of three partnership schools in Jamaica.

INTERNATIONAL TRENDS AND SERVICES

The mission of the International Trends and Services facet is to expand the global platform for programs designed and developed to service the educational, health and cultural needs of people of African descent throughout the world. All programmatic components of the facet are delivered through measurable and sustainable service delivery methods that reach women and their families.

The foremost goal of the International Trends and Services facet is to provide opportunities for tangible service in other countries. Our “boots on the ground” approach provides for more personalized methods for assisting and improving the lives of women, children and men worldwide through long-term programs committed to empowerment and public policy leadership in advocating for social justice.
