We Met Here! If you keep looking out for it, you will eventually find it! My name is Renuka Rodrigues, and I hail from a bustling city of entertainment called Mumbai, which is also the financial capital of India. As a person, I have always been art driven--a self-observer who loves to document visuals that are inspiring and captivating. When I moved to Bermuda 4 years ago with my husband, I had no friends at all. Although I enjoyed the serene beaches and picturesque landscapes, it begun to get on me after the few initial months of an extended honeymoon. Well, thanks to google who showed me the International Women’s Club, and I can say that it was such an incredible experience. I got to meet a lot of women who were just like me, from different backgrounds, countries, dialects, and cultures. We made so many friends who are like family to us now. The club offers a unique support system for all those who are new to the island. It also offers various organized sub-groups or clubs that you can join based on your interest, from badminton to cooking to photography, you can join them all. There is so much more that meets the eyes, one really needs to experience this to know it. I’m so grateful I have the opportunity to experience this and to share it!

Thanks to the IWC settling in to Bermuda and finding really good friends was easy. Everyone is so welcoming. I've been able to get to know wonderful, interesting, and inspiring ladies. And on top of that, the IWC offers so many different activities that life never gets boring.

The IWC is a fabulous forum for meeting new friends and finding activities, and I am happy to work with a lovely bunch of ladies on the board and give something back with my role as Secretary.

The IWC is a wonderful way for new islanders to make friends and for current residents to make even more connections. I’m pleased to be a part of this wonderful organization.
