I'd like to start this blog post by wishing you a very Happy New Year!
In 2010, memorable events such as the Vancouver Olympics, the first ever World Cup held in Africa, the release of Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest, and the amazing rescue of the 33 Chilean miners were occasions to joyously reflect upon. 2010 was also the year humanity was tested by devastating earthquakes, floods, conflict, food shortages, and unimaginable poverty and inequality. I am so proud of GVN and all of our volunteers, donors, partners and supporters who rallied together during difficult times in 2010 to rise to the aid of those who need it most.
On reflection I feel that at GVN we have learned so much about assisting underprivileged communities and we are now ready to take our knowledge and experience to the next level and think big for 2011.
As we begin this New Year we do so with renewed vigour and focus. We have a vision for what's in store for 2011 and beyond, and we're inviting you to be part of it! Over the next few days, in sync with our email series, I will also be sharing on our blog our plans for the future, and posting some empowering ideas about how you can contribute to positive change in 2011.
But, if you're like me, and you can't wait to get involved right away then be sure to check out our website: http://www.globalvolunteernetwork.org/
On behalf of everyone at GVN, I would like to wish you a safe and happy New Year, and I look forward to building dreams and changing lives with you in 2011!
Kind regards,
Colin Salisbury
