Happy New Year
Greetings friends,
Welcome to 2007! From Tokyo to New York, from Toronto to Montréal, Free The Children members are ringing in the new year with plans for social change.
Here in Toronto, Free The Children staff members are hopping with excitement and plans for the upcoming 12 months. One of our many recent initiatives is “Ask the Professor” which allows you to stay updated on current events and get straightforward answers to complicated questions.
In the spirit of the new year, this January issue of Voices International contains stories of new beginnings around the world, from Theresa in Sierra Leone to Nadia in Mexico. Even Free The Children has some new beginnings to share, with a new office in Montréal, Québec, and a new French name to reflect our philosophy in both of Canada’s official languages.
Find out more inside this newsletter, and have an excellent and rewarding new year!
