As a single working woman, imagine being displaced from your home, your employer, or your family as a result of illness, domestic violence, divorce, etc.  What would you do?  Where would you go? 

 

Fifteen years ago, Sarahlyn U. Argrow experienced a similar situation; in fact, there were moments when she did not know how she and her daughters were going to make it. They went through times when Sarahlyn did not have money for food, money to pay utility bills, money for rent, etc. Through sheer determination and will power, hard work and her faith, Sarahlyn’s plight ended up being a success story.  She ultimately secured a high level position with a major corporation and during the process, realized that she wanted to find a way of giving back to others who faced similar challenges.

 In 2000, Sarahlyn founded “A Working Woman In Need” (AWWIN, Inc.) and the organization has since served over 400 families in the Savannah area through the services that they offer.  Among those services is the organization’s signature computer and job readiness training class”. Sarahlyn teaches other classes that help AWWIN’s clients get back into the work force, or enhance their skills to increase their employability.  Volunteers are needed to help with training on Microsoft Work, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.  Please contact Sarahlyn at awwin.inc@comcast.net if you have the desire, time, patience and skills to assist with classes.   

In May AWWIN announced plans to expand their services in Savannah and to bring AWWIN services to additional cities like Atlanta and Hardeville, South Carolina. AWWIN has truly made and continues to make a positive difference in the lives of others. To learn more about AWWIN and how you can get involved, visit their website it: http://awwininc2.org/.
