A THANK YOU NOTE!

Good Day to all Excel Family and Youth supporters,

Our "Youth Day" and "Healthy Family Talks" event was a success. We are proud of the effort and the commitment that the young volunteers have put in to make this event successful. I wish to thank Anthony and Gifty for their hard work, creativity and time that made the day an enjoyable and educational one.

Thanks to Dr.Getachew Assefa, Associate Professor and Athena Chair for Life Cycle Assessment in Design
Faculty of Environmental Design at University of Calgary .

Dr. Getachew has discussed with the Parents as well as the youth regarding the importance of Education and how Education can lead to success.
I would like to thank Sam Effah, a 21- year old University student/ track star is one of the fastest men in Canada. He has competed in Berlin World championships and recently in Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games.

He thought and motivated the younger kids to stay in school and to overcome their obstacles.Thanks to Dr. Getu Biftu, water resource engineer who has discussed with parents how to assist their children to reach their dream.

I had contributed to discuss with parents how we can easily build healthy and loving relationships with children.

Thanks to the Parents and Board of Directors that have volunteered their time and skills in different situations to help out and make the Organization what it is today. Without the involvement of the Parents we wouldn't have the Excel Family and youth Society to help and prepare our children for their futures.

Being a part of our society means : helping out in the community, raising awareness of unity and success. Getting together and helping out youth and family in need when their potential is hidden and covered by unhealthy environment..

Being a Excel Family and youth Society means not thinking only about the destination but enjoying and learning from the journey.


These are some of the upcoming events:

1.We are working to organize a workshop on how to start a small business

2.How to build a healthy and lasting relationships with our partners and family.

Thanks to all of you for your involvement in being a part of our movement to change our community.


Sincerely,

Dr Girma Lulu,Chair
