I received the following email today from the President of Wings of Hope, I thought it was nice enough to share with all of you who know how fond I am of this organization:
Because of You....
Dear Friends of Wings of Hope:
Wings of Hope was notified last week that we have been nominated for
the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. We are humbled and honored to receive
consideration for this highly prestigious international award.
Since 1901, the Nobel Committee has selected nominators from around
the world to determine the individuals and organizations that will be
nominated. These nominators are the only persons who can offer
candidates for consideration. Wings of Hope’s unique philosophies
and commitment to world peace came to the attention of a nominator
who selected the charity for nomination.
Wings of Hope’s global efforts serve every continent except
Antarctica. Each focuses strictly on Humanitarian endeavors. No
political, racial or religious agenda is allowed. Over 3,000 people
around the world serve as volunteers with more than 600 at the global
headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri.
This is a great honor to all of our Volunteers and Donors. They are
the ones who see the Humanity of our fellow men and who seek to
extend the hand of human kindness to them.
The Peace Prize is awarded by a committee of five, chosen by the
Norwegian body. A short list will be compiled by the end of March,
with the Laureate selected by late fall.
Wings of Hope programs have expanded significantly since the charity
was formed in 1962. Our domestic and international programs assist
over one million people annually.
This honor is only possible because of YOU -- THANK YOU!!!

ReplyDeleteThis just blows me away! Congratulations for your part in what has gotten Wings of Hope nominated, Annie. What an honor and a treasure.
ReplyDeleteMy part is a very tiny part, but I'm very proud to be a part. Would have loved to be involved when I was younger working at one of the fields of operations with the kids. Here in St. Louis it is mostly us 'older' retired folks doing their bit.
