A small group of women sat in the middle of the jungle in Haiti waiting for their chance at self-empowerment as Kathy Mang, parishioner at St. Joseph University Parish in Buffalo entered with hope in hand.  As the people of America sit with their  iPhones, Macbooks and flat screen TVs sighing over the state of the economy, many women in Haiti and in other disadvantaged countries are working just to survive and are waiting for a chance at a better life. Mang and the others of Mothers Clubs try to provide the education, the resources and the hope these women need to climb out of hopeless destitution into the dream of a new tomorrow.
