Dear Melanie, dear all,
The only
thing I can say is that somewhere in Burundi, a group of children
will be
happy thanks to these wonderful
clothes that will keep so many warm in their
bodies and in their heart!!!
Merci Melanie, merci to all the crew of Land's
End
and to everybody who was involved in this wonderful action.
I wish
you all a "JOYEUX NOEL and BONNE ANNEE 2008.

Trick of Treat in October 2007 UNICEF Boxes Raise 702 euros!
Today, Halloween means more than candy, costumes, ghosts, and goblins. It
means vaccines, clean water, and improved nutrition for less fortunate children.
It means educating our children about the importance of multi-culturalism and
community values. "Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF" is a full-year program that
provides youth leadership opportunities even after Halloween.
The European Volunteer Centre (CEV)
is a European umbrella association of 43

support and promote voluntary activity.

priorities and concerns of its member organisations to the institutions of the
European Union. It also acts as a central forum for the exchange of policy,
practice and information on volunteerism. It supports networking among its

as research.

Can you help ENVOL?
On Saturday, March 31, 2007 members of the AWC of Paris were doing volunteer work in ENVOL, a non-profit organisation set up 10 years ago and situated in the forest of Fontainebleau (near Paris).
ENVOL aims to provide a European medicalized recreation center to welcome children and adolescents suffering from malignant or chronic diseases for 9-12 day stays.
The project is supported by Paul Newman, who
founded the first center in Connecticut named "The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp",
he is the honorary president.
How can one help? By buying Newman Own products; by making a donation; by coming to ENVOL; by doing all kinds of volunteer work which
is needed; by assisting the
professionals as volunteer in a session.
