| A Great Opportunity - GLEN cycle 2008 launched |
The GLEN 2007 cycle was very successful and 2 Maltese participants have returned from South Africa and Kenya where they worked in projects with young children and youths. The 2 projects offered this year are very promising. The first project is in South Africa, a continuation of last year’s project in Cape Town where the participant needs a background in pedagogy and works with children and maintenance of schools run by the local organisation. The second project is in Zambia where the participant will work with a local organisation in Sport and Education especially football. read more...

| Petition the Government against Child Labour |
|
An EVS volunteer Nina Zita has done research on the Maltese government's procurement of services and goods with regards to sweatshops and companies employing children. A few months ago she wrote a paper on this topic which was published on the "Civil Society Report". for 2007.
During the worldfest Nina launched a petition to demand that our government pays attention so that any goods or services purchased by goverment departments and public corporations has not been produced by children or that it was not produced in sweatshops.
If you have not signed the petition during the Worldfest we encourage
you to sign the petition online, which you can find here:

| Summer Experience |
There will be 2 groups going to work abroad this summer, one going to Alamata, Ethiopia and the other one to Naples, Italy. The groups will be staying whithin the homes run by the Sisters of Mother Teresa and will be giving them a helping hand. The Ethiopia group will be staying for about a month and a half while the others will be staying for 3 weeks. The members have been meeting regularly these past few months, in order to get to know each other and to make necessary preperations. Both groups have decided that there is no room for other members. The teams will be leaving in the end of July.
If you would like to be part of next year's experience, please send us an email on info@thirdworldgroup.org expressing your interest, and we will notify you as soon as the groups start to form.

| GLEN: Maltese volunteers selected for Kenya and So |
|
After a number of interviews we did finally manage to select 2 candidates for the projects. After having discussed with the GLEN team, we decided to drop the Uganda project and go ahead with the other 2.
The maltese participants, Martina Gerada and Mahira Sheikh, have already been to one of the 2 preparation seminars in Germany. These seminars, which are led by ex-particapants and experienced tutors, will introduce them to the concept of development education, while getting to know the other European volunteers.
In June, they will be attending a second training seminar in Czech Republic, which will further their knowledge about the host country, their traditions and other topics related to global development.
