Teresa got a lifetime achievement Americans for UNFPA Awards for the Health and Dignity of Women.
Edited on Thu Oct-14-10 01:16 PM by karynnj
“In my life I have been privileged at times to stand with brave men and women as they have fought against inequity and oppression--be it students marching against apartheid in South Africa, Jewish refuseniks demanding basic human rights in the Soviet Union, or older women fighting discriminatory retirement practices in this country. The Americans for UNFPA Award is a true honor,” said the evening’s Lifetime Achievement award recipient Teresa Heinz, Chairman of the Heinz Endowments and Heinz Family Philanthropies. Ms. Heinz championed women’s education around savings and retirement security. Her related advocacy work exposed imbalances in the nation’s social and economic system which put elderly women at risk.

2. The picture is nice - and she looks well
I liked her comment. I've seen 2004 and later posts that show, even here, that many had no idea of what she had done.
