Welcome
to the World Family Organization work in 2007!

Dear
Members, Friends and Visitors,
Welcome
to the 2007 World Family Organization website!
In
the first place we like to wish to all our members and friends
a very prosperous year, full of productive and self-satisfying
work. May peace and justice prevailed in
our world.
The
Presidency Office located in Brazil is returning from our
summer holidays, after a very deserved rest that followed
the intensive work that our staff performed for the successful
results of the World Family Summit +2 held at Dead Sea,
Jordan last December. Please visit the specific website
where you can watch the different sessions that were transmitted
live and are still available.
After
the Summit we held our annual General Assembly Session,
which was also very fruitful, and the results of our discussions
and decisions will reflect in more substantial programs
and actions in the different fields of our work in a very
near future.
Regarding
our contribution to the United Nations work, we are committed
to include the "family perspectives" in each one
of the major policies and programs involving youth as stated
on the World Program on Action for Youth, the Youth
Employment Network, the World Program on Aging
and the implementation of the World Program Concerning
the Disabled Persons.
Another
strong commitment for 2007 is the implementation of the
Declaration of the World Family Summit +2, according
to the recommendations of the participating delegations.
The first steps are already in course: the Declaration will
be presented at the ECOSOC Commission for Social Development
to be held at the UN Headquarters, New York from February
7th to 14th, and in early July to the ECOSOC High Level
Segment in Geneva.
The
year of 2006 was a very important year to the new elected
members of the Executive Board. The team achieved a great
harmony and the work done during the year brought many accomplishments.
Now with the team completed by the new elected advisors
we are expecting to finalize the work in regulating the
new categories of membership as well as to take concrete
steps to implement the National and Regional structures
of the Organization.
In
this month of February we will review our website and when
you visit us in the beginning of March I am sure that you
will have a new vision of the World Family Organization
and we will be waiting for your opinion and contribution.
