In this article the author writes of having had the pleasure of meeting Datin Goh Suet Lan and one of the key members of her team, Mr. Murali, in the Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication, Universiti Putra Malaysia with three colleagues, Associate Professor Dr. Shamala Paramasivam (who initiated this meeting), Dr. Ilyana Binti Jalaluddin, and Dr. Ramiza Binti Darmi. At the end of this meeting, Datin graciously accepted the invitation for an E-mail interview, which is the result of what is presented here. The interview will show how it is possible to educate women who are the bread-winners of poverty stricken families to work more wisely for a better living. In this interview, Datin, who is the president of an non governmental organization (NGO) called Women of Will (www.womenofwill.org.my), shares the insightful experiences she and her team have reaped in their journey of making a meaningful difference in their community.
