Organization Name: Polish Women's Hall of Fame
Organization Overview: Polish women have long had a reputation for beauty, intelligence, and courage.
Poland herself has appeared in iconography, especially in the Romantic era, as a woman bravely suffering oppression, defying her tormentors or grieving her sons and daughters. People call to mind Queen Jadwiga, the legendary Princess Wanda or the brilliant Marie Sklodowska-Curie when Polish women are mentioned. But the full story of their accomplishments finds almost no place in the popular history of Poland. Yet, it is a rich, inspiring and complex story that gives us new perspectives on the history of Poland and Polish communities throughout the world. We can never fully understand who we are until we join the histories of our mothers to that of our fathers.
It is for this reason that the Piast Institute founded the Polish Women’s Hall of Fame as a record of the story of Polish Women and as a resource for our community, schools and universities, and especially for young Polish women—and indeed young women everywhere so that they might know and remember.
The Polish Women’s Hall of Fame is a virtual exhibit hosted by the Piast Institute that seeks to honor and raise awareness of the stories of women’s lives and contributions to Polish and Polonian culture and history, and the contributions of women of Polish birth or descent to the world. Housed online, the project provides biographies, photographs, bibliographies, and articles on both individual prominent women and on the more general history of Polish women both in Poland and abroad.
Individuals or groups may be nominated to the Hall of Fame in any of six categories:
Arts and Humanities
Religion
Science and Education
Public Life and Service
Sports
Philanthropy

Organization Name: The Shlama Foundation
Organization Overview: SHLAMA FOUNDATION
Connecting the Diaspora to the Homeland
WHO WE ARE | OUR MISSION
The Shlama Foundation’s mission is to engage the diaspora to fund humanitarian aid and other community projects that will help the Assyrian Chaldean Syriac people live and prosper in their ancestral homeland.
YOUTH-BASED
Nothing would be possible without the wide range of support we receive, from different countries and cultures, from young children to the elderly and from businesses and organizations. We have been moved to tears from all the groups and individuals who have found empathy in their hearts to fundraise for our cause. Although support comes from all areas, we believe it's important to keep The Shlama Foundation leadership primarily in the hands of the youth. Energetic, caring, united, honest, and passionate, the youthful zeal of Shlama has ignited our mission to influence genuine volunteerism in the homeland.
Situation Timeline
WHO WE ARE | OUR VALUES
TRANSPARENCY
According to Transparency International, Iraq is perceived to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Many people are not aware of the true reason that The Shlama Foundation was started. When the situation began, we had an outpouring of people who wanted to help, but the same thing stopped them every time. They would not trust that their donation would fully reach its destination. We put our thinking caps on and plotted out every single way we could show transparency: Receipts, Photos, Videos, Personal Video Mentions, Public Donation Listings, etc. It sounded like a lot of work, but we had no choice. We knew that the key to successful humanitarian aid in this case was transparency, and an organization was born.

WHO WE ARE | OUR VISION
We envision a thriving homeland for the Assyrian Chaldean Syriac people that is strongly connected to the diaspora through the act of giving.

QUALITY OF LIFE
We believe everyone has a right to a good quality of life. We believe everyone should live with dignity and in peace, without daily fear. Although our immediate focus will always be Emergency Response, our long term goals are to continue to improve the quality of life in the Nineveh Plains through Community Development, Youth Activities & Education, Cultural Preservation, Supporting Our Troops and Housing.
TEAMWORK
We love working with others! Working with other organizations is an important value we hold that we hope will become extremely contagious. We strive to be a model of cooperation with churches and other organizations for the greater mission we all share. From the youth to the soldiers, the sight of volunteers working together to make projects possible in our homeland makes us feel pretty great about what we do!
CONNECTED
One of our most important values is minimizing the space between the diaspora and the homeland. We believe in the love of our community. We have witnessed an incredible response to those in need beyond anything we could have ever expected. We don't think physical space should separate us from our community throughout the world. It is our aim to utilize the power of media to become more connected than ever before.
