March 22, 2010: A Letter from IFEJANT to the High School Students from Kamloops

On behalf of IFEJANT and the children from the NASSAE and San José Obrero schools, we would like to thank you for having chosen to visit our country and for having contributed to the children’s education, which is their fundamental human right. By helping build classrooms and bathrooms, you have expressed your friendship and solidarity.

All children hope to have adequate facilities for their education and regrettably in our country this is not possible for all children. However, you have made these hopes a reality. You have supported these children so they may continue to study and organize continually demand the fulfillment of their human rights.

Thank you with all of our hearts. We hope that this spirit of solidarity grows and strengthens in each one of you. The bridge of solidarity that has been sown with the presence of our counterpart Jess is now strengthened by the connection we find with you. It is our hope that from this connection many other Canadian youth will connect with us in solidarity.

We will always wait for you with an open heart!!!

Your friends from IFEJANT, NASSAE and San José Obrero.
