Dear Colleagues,

Thank you to those who confirmed their children's participation in the ICTP Children's Christmas Party,
taking
place on Friday 11 December 2015 at 17:00 at LB cafeteria.

As in the past years, we count on your generosity to continue supporting Catherine, the 7-year-old Ugandan little girl whose distance adoption was successfully finalized in 2012 in the name of ICTP Children.

Any exceeding funds collected this year will be donated to AVSI in support of their programme for refugees.
If you are not attending the party and want to make a contribution, there is a collecting box at the Infopoint where you can insert your contribution.
Many thanks again for your kind generosity.

Please find more details below.

Refugees and us. All on the same road

From a place called home in South Sudan or Syria, to the camps in Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan and finally to our cities in Europe, the path walked by refugees is long and hard. AVSI asks you to support those who flee, even if only for a portion of their journey. Six stories. Six testimonies. One for each of the projects that we developed following the steps that refugees might take toward a better future. AVSI embraces Pope Francis’ appeal: “give real hope” to those who flee every single day from war, persecution and natural disasters.

Looking forward to meeting Santa!


The organizing committee
