Bobbie7,

I sent an email to kwsp@info.bw, but didn't get any response. Also,
tried to reach the number (267) 307658, but I get a message that it is
an invalid number.
Probably,  justaskscott sent an email to this email addr but may not
have got an answer.
I'd appreciate if you could find another women's support group.
