Calling In The Big Guys | Message List |
Namaste Nchilders, We are seeking creative ways to break the current impasse for the 440+ nearly-completed files and for those who wish to adopt from Nepal in the near-term future. The world is becoming smaller, with degrees of separation narrowing between people who are part of Nchild (or otherwise connected as friends and supporters) and those who are in positions of power and influence. We are seeking ways to tap into these links through this network. So far we have identified individuals who are within two degrees of separation of Laura Bush, Condoleeza Rice, Angelina Jolie, and Katie Couric. We are seeking support from those among you who may have closer connections with these individuals and/or others who can influence high-level decision-makers in the USA and other countries – especially within the European Union. Please do what you can to contact these people, requesting their help in resolving this humanitarian crisis immediately. Children have a right to be part of loving families, where their needs for devotion, food, education, and healthcare can be met. Many of the 440+families were first matched with children 8 to 14 months ago. During this extended waiting period the incidence of "failure to thrive" has increased dramatically, there have been several serious injuries, and newly abandoned babies are now being refused from orphanages. We would appreciate any efforts you can make to help resolve this crisis. Time is of the essence. With the political instability in Nepal, the approaching Dashain and Tihar holidays, and the scheduled Constituent Assembly elections (November 22nd), it is probable that if the situation is not resolved soon then children and parents will not be reunited until the late Spring or Summer of 2008. If you have any questions, or want further information please contact us through this email. In solidarity and hope, A group of parents who want to be united with their children now |
