Get Fired Up Amigos de los Ninos!
Today, Tuesday, December 1st, we kick off our campaign to UNICEF . . .We need You!

We are requesting the immediate support of The Guatemalan PGN (Attorney General’s Office) and UNICEF to fulfill our mission to get as many children home as possible by the end of the year.  Some of these kids are the legal children of US citizens and possess US Visas, and still, they are held up by bureaucratic delay and unable to join the loving families who have been awaiting them for over 2 years.

We need to flood the UNICEF emails with our Battle Cry!

Here is a sample email that you can send to Ann Veneman at UNICEF:

To:  Ann Veneman,  Aveneman@unicef.org

Executive Director, UNICEF

 

Dear Ms. Veneman,

 

I am writing to you in support of the Guatemala 900 initiative to request timely due process and transparency for the children (some of whom are the legal children of US Citizens and possess US Visas) whose grandfathered adoption cases are still languishing in bureaucratic delay. We request your support and advocacy for the hundreds of children whose futures are at stake.

 

This being the 20th Anniversary of the Rights of the Child and the Holiday Season of Giving, it is imperative that UNICEF, as the world’s leader in child aid and advocacy, utilize its influence to protect these fragile lives and their right to a permanent loving family.  Your supporters are counting on it!

 

Sincerely,
