Hi
Sorry for the late reply. Both groups do the same thing and offer support to ladies and their families who have moved to Oman. They also hold various events to raise money for Omani Charities.
The WGO was founded in 1973 by Hilda Staal, wife of the Minister of the English Speaking Congregation in Muscat, Oman. Originally the group was known as the Women’s Guild of the Protestant Church in Oman. At the first meeting, thirteen women met at the home of Hilda Staal, including Eloise Bosch who still lives here in Muscat and is a WGO member to this day.
The WGO’s mission is to “offer fellowship, an opportunity for women to meet each other, to enjoy a varied program of speakers and events, and to raise funds for charitable purposes”. Website: www.womensguildoman.com
The Phoenix Group was founded in 2013 and also offer support to ladies and their families who have moved to Oman. Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/pages/Phoenix-Ladies-Group-Oman/618240261616939
There is also The American Women's Group (AWG) which is a non-profit, non-political organization. The American Women's Group (AWG) promote friendship and goodwill. In 1975, Mimmi Wolle, the US Ambassador's wife, brought 20 American women together, forming the nucleus of what was to become the American Women's Group (AWG) in Oman. Five years after its formation, membership was opened to all women residents in Oman. Website: www.awgoman.com
Most ladies are members of all three groups. Hope this helps.
Regards
The WGO
