This year, instead of sending material gifts to your friends and family, present them with a gift letter showing that you have donated to the Centre for Child Honouring on their behalf. Donate today and print an Honour Letter like the one pictured below, for gift giving.
A holiday note from Raffi and the Centre for Child Honouring
As we approach the holiday season, we at the Centre for Child Honouring are grateful for a very productive year in 2010!
One of our dynamic ongoing initiatives, the Children and Nonviolence Initiative is helping bring together the world's faith leaders in a call to ban all forms of violence against children. Our Sign the Plea campaign now has over 1,100 Plea signatories from around the world, and 150 faith leaders from 22 countries have signed the Proclamation. This initiative is building towards a multi-faith and universal declaration that cannot be ignored.
For 2011, we are developing programs and partnerships that will have far-reaching and long-term benefits. For example, this year my "I CAN Song" became the theme song for the child-empowering international Design for Change school contest, now active in 23 countries. As well, we are partnering with the global iMatter Campaign, which will mobilize a million kids to speak out about the climate change crisis on Mother's Day 2011. To move forward with these initiatives, the Centre very much needs your support.
Sustainability is key at this critical time, as people worry about the future of our planet. Child Honouring is the way to build healthy sustainable communities and restore the Earth. Each of us can do more than just talk about what we know we have to do. We can act.
In this holiday season, please consider a gift to the Centre for Child Honouring-or donate to the Centre in lieu of gifts to friends. Every donation counts as we work towards our vision of a sustainable future for all our children.
We appreciate you including the Centre for Child Honouring in your thoughts this holiday season, and we send you our very best wishes.
With warmest wishes,
Raffi and the Centre for Child Honouring team
