Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Dear friends: I hope and trust that this e-mail will reach you in good faith and order. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you our children letter writing campaign, which we have just launched few weeks ago with the hope that to collaboration with your organization. But I also have a more specific query. Earlier this year we made the strategic decision to develop a children's letter-writing campaign on pediatric treatment and diagnostics. We just launched the campaign on the 20 November, with the aim of it being a year long effort in the run up to the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in November 2009. We have also finalizes a simple printed resource for teachers called Prescription for Life, which will also has links to additional detailed information on the web. The recent publication " Prescription for Life " , (http://www.e-alliance.ch/en/s/hivaids/accessmeds/children/resource/) a joint effort of the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance, Education International and the Treatment Action Campaign provides information and resources for schools, families, faith groups and communities to empower young people to write letters to pharmaceutical companies and governments to improve testing and treatment for infants and children living with HIV. Letters generated from the year-long action will be used to keep governments accountable to commitments made in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and also used in focused advocacy with pharmaceutical companies by EAA participants. An exhibit of the letters will be prepared for the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child on 20 November 2009. The six page guide is available at http://www.e-alliance.ch/accessmeds/children. The English version can be downloaded immediately and versions in Spanish and French will soon be available. We have the financial resources to print and distribute this publication (at least a reasonable number), so we are not inquiring about funding. Thus, I am writing to you to request if your organization will be willing to: - promoting the resource on your website, through your programmes and network - distribute of the resources Thanks so much for considering this request and I look forward to hearing from you and exploring future collaboration.
