Delegates from Beijing meet Council

A group of Delegates from Beijing is meeting with the Council's John Dunn and Gary Curtis in Ottawa on Monday November, 10, 2008 to discuss our work as a means of informing them of the ways we work at the grassroots level to bring positive changes to child-welfare services.

The Letter to Council is posted below accompanied by a list of the Delegates from Beijing.


Hello John:

It was very nice talking to you on the phone just now. I am very glad that I am able to get in touch with you and learn about your work for child-welfare service in Canada. It's even more encouraging that you are also concerned about international adoption and particularly these
children (to be) adopted from China. I wish I personally am able to be of help in the future.

As far as the Beijing guests are concerned, here I'd like to give you their names and some relevant information about the group.

The group consists of 20 members from Office of Letters and Calls of Beijing Municipal People's Government (OLCB). The OLCB is a special office that was established to take complaints from the grassroots people and organizations in Beijing City and help to resolve the issues and disputes.

It'll be really wonderful if you can give them an overview of your work at FCCC, the efforts that the grassroots people/organization have made, the challenges that they have faced and the hope and expectation that they are in pursuing from the government.

As far as the new issues about the adoption in China go, I would suggest that you also bring up the issues at the meeting for discussion. It's an interesting topic that the group would love to exchange the views with you.

Since there are 20 people, I am thinking to invite you to meet with them at a hotel conference room if your office can hardly hold all of them.

We are trying to acquire a conference room now and will let you know the updates later today. I wish that we can make the meeting happen on Nov.10 at 9:00AM either at your place or in a hotel. Please do not hesitate to contact me either via this email or at ###-###-#### or my mobile ###-###-#### if you have any concerns. I deeply appreciate your time and really enjoy our conversation just now.

With all my best regards,
