INSPIRING WOMEN UNITE

IN a spectacular display of what the Costa del Sol does best ­ community spirit ­ International Women’s Day on Wednesday, March 8 saw more than 100 women join together for an afternoon of female empowerment and charity fundraising at La Scala, Marbella.

Supported by the Euro Weekly News, some of the community’s most generous and inspiring women came out, donating vintage clothes, raffle prizes and their time to support Age Care Dementia.

Mapuchi Fashion owner Sara Hayley, organised a stunning fashion show of both her latest designs and vintage designer outfits donated from the community for charity.

With entertainment by Johnny G, Gilly Sax, and Laura Carter, the sparkling event in the blazing Spanish sunshine raised almost €1,000 for a charity that affects so many on the Costa del Sol.

Alongside fundraising, the event was a chance to celebrate women across the world. Euro Weekly News publisher Michel Euesden gave a purple hyacinth bulb ­ the colour of International Women’s Day­ to each guest.

A symbol of growth, life and hope, the bulb was accompanied by a personal letter from Michel detailing what it represents.
