Around Kidlink

Gregor Bas has replaced Alenka Makuc as the Slovenian Language area manager. He is also the KIDCAFE-SLOVENSKI list manager, the translator and the Slovenian web page master. So beside his teaching at Elementary school, he is active all over the places.

In the Danish language area, veteran Kidlinker Bent Karkov has been promoted to the language area manager allowing  Claus Berg to focus on his top team tasks.
Recently, we received a very exciting newspaper supplement from Mexico. It has been recorded in our bibliography database in these words:

Un-dos-tres por mí. La Jornada, January 29, 2000. "Suplemento para niñas y niños: En la Calle." 8 pages about the Casa Hogar Alternativa Callejera, a Kidlink House in Mexico City, and their activities. Great texts, photos, drawings, etc.

Recently, we were told that our Spanish language web "designated a Cool Site in the Netscape Open Directory."

The Kidlink Society 2000

The Kidlink Society is Kidlink's owner.
Soon, the Annual Meeting will begin. This is a one hundred percent online event. Discussions and votes take place on a private mailing list for members only. The meeting involves people living geographically very far apart, and typically takes months to complete.
All interested persons, regardless of age, and organizations can become a member. Click here, if you want to sign up. (Being a member is not required to enjoy Kidlink's free services!)

Volunteers wanted

Kidlink offers its volunteers recognition, opportunities to learn, good friends around the world, and the satisfaction of doing something that matters to our future generations. Many of our volunteers have used their involvement to support applications for new jobs. Besides, it is fun to help kids!
If you want to help, see the "Do you want to support us?" page, or write the coordinator for your language area. If you want to help produce this "newsletter," drop Odd de Presno a line.
