Happy Women's Day!

Every year, on the 8th of March, every individual with a thinking mind has reason to contemplate, to reminisce and to celebrate. The International Women's Day is an occasion that has risen to pave a humanitarian road towards a happier world. 

Liberty, Equality, Freedom and Justice. This is a celebration of womanhood, on an international scale. Of creation, of sustenance, of peace. 

It isn't a gathering of feminists fighting for their rights. Neither is it a day to mourn the oppression women have faced through the ages. It is a day to rejoice and give due credit to the ones who deserve it most. It is a day to speak, express, touch and connect. Celebrating the woman, the phenomenon!

Sustaining Those Whom the Lord Sustains
Apoiar Aqueles Que o Senhor Apoia
El sostener a las personas a quienes el Señor sostiene

Relief Society approaches organization's 170th anniversary

Relief Society: Doing something extraordinary

LDS Church News - Published: Saturday, Feb. 25, 2012

Just as sisters in the early days of the Church gathered often to go about doing good, Relief Societies around the world today are working together to plan and carry out projects as a way to commemorate the 170th anniversary of the Relief Society. Whether it is doing work within their own families, wards or communities, the work that moves forward is blessing all who are involved. The purposes of Relief Society are the same as they were in the early days of the Church — to increase faith, strengthen families and provide relief.

Six months ago, Daughters in My Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society was published and given to every member of the Relief Society to act as a guide and resource in helping sisters understand their responsibilities. (read here)

By Jean Bingham and Mary Durham
Primary General Board

A Jacob Harvey has leukodystrophy, making it impossible for him to walk and talk. Still, he participates in Primary.

Primary leaders are learning to make accommodations and adaptations for children with disabilities in their wards and branches, creating a welcoming atmosphere that allows these unique children to be included in classes, sharing time and activities where they can grow in the gospel along with their peers. Not only are children with disabilities blessed by these efforts, but also families are strengthened and additional blessings are realized by the children, teachers and leaders who love and serve with these children.

Following are a few things to remember when making accommodations and adaptations in Primary for children with disabilities.
