Joint Council has requested that we post the following information for families who have or still in process of adopting from Guatemala.
Dear Colleagues,
As stated in yesterday’s posting by Hannah Wallace, families and friends committed to the children of Guatemalan will launch the Guatemala 900 Campaign on June 17th in WashingtonDC. The launch of the campaign will include a rally, speaches, a march from the White House to the Capitol and a candlelight vigil at the Guatemalan Embassy.
While not officially affiliated with Joint Council, the Guatemala 900 Campaign has a goal in parallel to the ongoing Joint Council Guatemala 5000 Initiative: a family for every Guatemalan child. Joint Council has and will continue to work with many of the campaigns organizers and we fully support the goals of the Guatemala 900 Campaign.
On June 17th, the Guatemala 900 Campaign will become a voice for the 900 children whose adoptions have yet to be completed despite 18 months of investigations, court hearings and interviews. The campaign will advocate with the U.S.and Guatemalan governments to ensure a quick and final resolution of all cases and an end to the victimization of Guatemalan children.
Joint Council asks that all Members distribute information on the Guatemala 900 Campaign and to lend your support to this effort. Detailed information can be found at www.guatemala900.org
