A message from the Executive Director

Dear Friends,

What a year it has been. World Accord took on its biggest ever public

engagement event - our Sustainability Tour.

We contacted many organizations and business in in the Kitchener Waterloo

area about having them involved. They would go on a list and map and then

during the "Tour" people would take the map and their Passport to

Sustainability and collect stamps from the places they visited. World Accord

coordinated it all and was involved in radio and TV interviews and talks at

public events.

The Passports were turned in at the World Accord office and put into a draw to

win either a construction expedition to build a school in Honduras or have

dinner with David Suzuki. That was the other part of the event. We arranged

for David Suzuki to speak at a dinner for 100 people at a local restaurant that

is working towards sustainability using locally grown food purchased directly

from local farmers and producers (though they admit to having problems

sourcing locally grown coffee and chocolate).

It was a busy time and one may ask "So what?"

Our mission

World Accord brings people together.

Affirming the sacred worth and dignity

of each person, we respond as partners

to opportunities that nurture the basic

well-being of all.

Our vision

We have a vision of world accord – the

flourishing of well-being for all where:

basic human needs are met

every person has the opportunity to

fulfill their potential

diverse people live peacefully in global

community

care of earth and love of neighbour

shape our life together

Well World Accord met many new

people and forged new partnerships

with local businesses and we

introduced to them all the wonderful

work and successes of our partner

organizations - the reason we exist as

an organization. The years ahead will

determine how well we did. When we go

to our local community for help for new

events or just to ask them to sponsor or

donate so we can do more for the

people we are trying to help - then we

will see.

In the meantime you can "see" the

amazing amount we were able to

accomplish in one year by checking out

the Video Annual Report at http://

worldaccord.org/about/annual-

reports/ This video was conceived and

filmed by volunteers and also edited

and produced by more volunteers. We

hope you like it.

We had an amazing year and look

forward to cultivating communities that

thrive in 2013. Thank you for helping us

make it so.

Sincerely,

David Barth

Executive Director
