*PINAY POWER 2012: Time Capsule ProjectArchiving the FWN 100’s stories to inspire the next generation of leadersStrikingly missing in the 2006 Centennial celebration of Filipino migration to America were the stories and documentation of the contributions of Filipina women. "Never again forget the role of Filipina women in the building of America," said Marily Mondejar, president of FWN. This statement inspired the Pinay Power 2012: Time Capsule Project.A time capsule is a way for us to deliver important messages so that our designated heirs have a sense of what life was like for us when they open our time capsule in the future. To prepare for Pinay Power 2012 and the bicentennial of Filipina presence in America, FWN will interview FWN's 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the U.S. to create a digital and print archive that will serve as a time capsule for future generations. The interviews will capture the FWN 100's personal stories, reveal the barriers they faced as Filipina women and the cultural richness that helped enhance their success. The Time Capsule project will actively promote Filipina women leaders to inspire the next generation of leaders.
