M has been selected as one of 30 kids in North America and 300 worldwide to attend the Tunza International Children's Conference on the Environment in Stavanger, Norway this June. I have also been approved as a chaperone. The conference is sponsored by the United Nations and the kids will prepare a statement which will be presented to world leaders. The UN has a mandate to consider the opinion of children when making decisions affecting the environment. Our M will have a chance, at the age of 11, to influence world leaders! So if you have anything you want them to hear, just tell M before June.

What an awesome experience to go Norway, if I think of anything to say I'll get back to you it is quite thought provoking.

Congratulations M! You certainly have a real experience of the beauty and uniqueness of nature and you will be a great participant to this forum. I once worked in Oslo for a few weeks for the Conference on the prohibition of land mines and I can tell you that these meetings do have a positive effect on our world.
