Follow up - Ireland
They have formed a team that will work with
the Lismullin Hospitalty Services Centre to or-
ganise a conference where key ideas on the
value of homemaking and the impact it has on
the family unit and society will be presented.
A number of professionals, many of whom are
in the fields of sociology and psychology, have
already shown an interest in the conference.
Mothering Heights
D r Anne Langslow discussed issues surrounding Work-Life balance on
behalf of HRF at a workshop during ‘Mothering Heights’, a conference
organised by Life Oxford. The organisers of the conference contacted
Conference HRF to ask whether we could provide a workshop leader with experience
in Work-Life balance for their conference. The conference took place on
March 20th and gathered over 100 participants.

Message from the Chairman
T he new decade begins with a lot of activity in the Foundation and, I am
sure, many successes on the horizon. Planning for the next Excellen-
ce in the Home international conference, Sustainable Living – Professional
Approaches to Housework, is well underway and we have launched our first
Call for Papers with less than a year to go until the conference.
Looking back at the last few newsletters, one gets the feeling that we never
stop and that we keep doing more as time goes on. The more work we do,
the more people we meet and the more events we attend and organise, the
more motivated we become in spreading our vision. Thank you all for your
ongoing support. - Bryan Sanderson CBE

are Saying...
‘It is really great that Home Renaissance Foundation is doing this
work. There is a real need for it and if the projects it inspires, like
SMART Home Management, are anything to go by, it will achieve
a lot!’
(Danelia Cardona, Clinical Doctor)
In the Media
“A recent survey revealed that mothers between 18 and 34 consider homemaking to
be the lifestyle to aspire to as opposed to being a career woman.”
(A Generation of Women Bred to Work, featured in The Times Online)
“…the home can constitute every human being’s first social network and his first
source of humanisation, so long as the caregiving activities that strengthen it are
promoted. Doing things together, such as eating meals or carrying out physical tasks
(cooking, cleaning or decorating together etc.) constitutes a service to the individual
that cares for their physical, cultural and even spiritual well-being.”
(A Global Heart Transplant by Maria Pia Chirinos, featured in ACE Prensa)

It is all about communicating to the right audience in the right place
these days, and since we believe that the work of the home is a human
right for everyone, HRF is working hard to spread its message to as many
people as possible.
