By offering collaborative events and by attracting other organisations to collaborate in organising further events
I support the mission and appreciate the history of ALF Network, and I met other members and organisations invovled in ALF Network by attending their events, e.g. Inter-Belief Dialogue in Limerick, Ireland in February 2016.
I also hope that Women's Ministries Initiative can benefit from broadening its network and exploring the possibilities of partnership with other member-organisations and individuals.
