I would like to update you on what happened during the first YFCI Online Staff-Only Meeting. We discussed several ideas that have come up on YFCI, and would like to ask for your help in meeting them.

- As you know, we will soon be celebrating Founding Week 2007. We will need volunteers to write articles, submit their change photos, and help create a wonderful celebration of YFCI's past, present, and future (this year's theme). YOU can HELP by emailing me at [email protected].

- Soon, after founding week, we will also be creating a survey which will ask members important questions on how we can make YFCI a better organization. If you know of any free survey makers (without any ads, or for a limited time), we are interested in creating the survey using it.

- The United Youth Committee of the World will join on to the Advisory Board of Project Y.A.Y, a partnership group co-founded by Youth for Change International. The Advisory Board will help Project YAY, which's mission is to succeed in Youths on the Move International, A Better Community for All, and Youth for Change International's missions. The UYCW will also become project partners of The Green Dream Initiative, YFCI's informative project on climate change.

- And finnally; the One Big Charity Organization, which is coordinated by Noor, will be in contact with the UNICEF office in Oman for possible collaboration or support. OBCO aims to fundraise in local schools for the UNICEF HIV/AIDS Campaign worldwide.

Thank you for your continued support,

Zach Komes
Executive Director
