En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Possibilities Unlimited for Women, Inc. (PUFW), a nonprofit that helps women who have experienced domestic violence through grants, job-readiness programs, and financial support. The resolution describes PUFW's activities, including boot camps on interviewing skills, financial literacy, resume writing, and professional dress, as well as grants to cover utility, phone, and gas bills. It also notes that since 2015 PUFW has funded book scholarships for 12th grade girls. The Senate formally commends the organization and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send PUFW a copy of the resolution as a keepsake.
