In its work with United Nations, A.C.W.W. has a twoâ€"way re5ponsibility: (l) to keep UN informed about its work, views and prob- lems; (2) to keep its members at local level in- formed about UN and enlist their co-opera- tion. A.C.W.W. has consultative status with ECOSOC, UNESCO, FAO and UNICEF. Helping with study tours, foreign students under UNESCO, or the Lady Aberdeen Schol- arship are a tremendous contribution. Ex- change programs and pen friends can be mutually interesting and informative for either individuals or Branches. Competitions are an- other source of interest. Much work is being done in countries which have Societies, and is beginning in parts of the world where there are none. There are women‘s groups affiliated with A.C.W.W. in every continent except South America, and contact has been made there by Mrs. Haven Smith on her recent tour of Central and South America.
