Dear Organiser/Supporter,

Thank you for all your support over the past few months. It is much appreciated. Whether you are actively engaged in OWW, or you are in a position to pass on the baton and encourage others to take more of a lead, or you are an energetic newcomer; OWW would not happen without you! This newsletter is to catch up with what has been happening and to share some important up-coming events and news.

New Staff

We welcome a new member of staff: Eda Dobos, who is working temporarily as the data entry clerk for the “Ubuntu” Project.

OWW 2009 theme

Hungry for One World

How could you plan your event around this theme? What ideas spring up? In the midst of the current climate how could we encourage others to contribute positively to our One World? What challenges are we committed to raise? “Hungry for what?” “Shared values”, “Food connecting us around the world”, have been some of the topics we have been thinking about while creating resources and suggesting activities for OWW events this year.

Please feel free to send in your ideas to us at the office. Look out for our OWW 2009 leaflets that will be available soon and continue to check the website for resources that we are working on.

Evaluation Forms

Thank you to everyone who has sent back the Baseline and Evaluation Form for events in 2008. These are being processed and already are giving us a good idea of what events took place, what went well and where we can improve our support.

Database forms

These too are being processed and are invaluable for making sure that the database is up to date.

Both forms are vital for us to keep in touch with you and to monitor our progress. Please do return any outstanding forms (available on the website) Thank you!

Donations

We continue to rely on your generous donations. They are vital for maintaining our long term core work. A couple of easy ways you can help us continue OWW’s work:

• Ask about setting up a direct debit.
• Include a Gift Aid pledge in your donation.
• Send us a cheque when you download resources from the website.
• Include us in your collections during your events.

Thank you for all of your support. Enjoy the lighter days that are happily approaching and we hope to see some of you in March.

From all the staff
Jenny, Mina, Sarah and Eda
