INMED Partnerships for Children President and CEO Linda Pfeiffer describes the state of charities under today’s difficult economy, how INMED continues to reach more and more children despite that economy, and plans for the new year with the help of friends and supporters. |
Keeping You Informed
Knowing how important it is to keep our friends and supporters informed of new developments at INMED Partnerships for Children, we are announcing the launch of a monthly e-newsletter beginning in February to share our news with you on an ongoing, regular basis.
INMED’s Year in Review
We’ve been busy at INMED Partnerships for Children reaching millions of children and families in more than 100 countries around the world to build a legacy of healthy, thriving and safe communities for today’s and tomorrow’s generation of children. Here are some highlights…
Harvesting Hope From a Garden in Brazil
| Through INMED Brasil’s Healthy Children, Healthy Futures program, Solange Pires learned the skills to not only keep her family of 11 children from going hungry, but also to help hundreds of other children. |  |
Partner Spotlight
 |
Jorge Muñiz of the Peru law firm Muniz, Ramirez, Perez-Taiman & Luna-Victoria gives up precious time to help INMED navigate the complex registration process to establish as a non-profit there and to help bring medicine to children. |
Overcoming History of Low Literacy
| Although many students his age in this small city outside São Paulo quit school without being able to adequately read or write, 10-year-old Natanael da Silva Santos chose to write poetry rather than follow many of his peers’ footsteps. |
