Dear all,

We hope your Christmas was full of good food, friends and family.On behalf of all the children who got the chance to go on camp, the ones who stayed, the leaders, JCs, staff, helpers, the CISV Belgium board, and the whole CISV community, We would like to wish you a wonderful year 2015. Our wish is for the children to keep bringing peace and joy to this sometimes gruesome world. We will keep working as hard as we can, that's a promise we can make!

What will 2015 bring? We already know a few things:Belgium will be hosting a Youth Meeting over Easter, a Village and a Seminar in July. We still need Village staff. Keep an eye open for other calls to volunteers!The JB will soon start a community project (called a Mosaic project), for which they will need you to bring all pieces of clothing you would like to give away.The first ever Global Conference will be held in August, a meeting meant to bring together representatives from all CISV chapters for 5 days of decision-making, ideas-exchanging, and working hard for the future of the organisation. Exciting news: Jeremy Gilley, the founder of Peace One Day, will be in attendance! Belgium will send representatives, and you will hear all about it.

Again, a Merry Christmas and a very happy, peaceful New Year,On behalf of CISV Belgium,Geoff, Vince, Tessa and Emi"If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room!"

happy

2015
