Ms. Molly Lamphear, IWCM grant supervisor, reported that in January the Club received 26 funding applications from the local NGOs of which selected were 10. From a geographical standpoint the grants have covered lots of parts of the country.
The IWCM has also been involved in raising funds from art projects such as the release of the Moldova-2005 photo art calendar and the annual art show The Night of Arts, donating a quarter of its takings to charity.
