Dear Colleague,

In August 2004, an eager and charming young woman came to me looking for a job. She was a recent graduate of Franciscan University at Steubenville. I hired her and sadly, after 20 years, she is leaving!

For twenty years, Hannah Russo has been a mainstay of C-Fam's work. She has worked full-time and for many of the past years has worked part-time from home since she is also the mother of a growing family. She has published the Friday Fax. She has designed our reports. She has taken care of our donors. We will miss her terribly.

Please write a note of thanks to Hannah at [email protected].

In today's Friday Fax, Stefano Gennarini reports on how the controversial negotiations at the WHO, the one where they want to take over the healthcare world, spilled briefly into public view. Stefano watched and was appalled.

Iulia-Elena Cazan reports on the upcoming negotiation around the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Of course, there is a battle between the rich white North and the rest of the world.

Finally, here is the weekly update from the International Youth Coalition.

Spread the word. Be daring. Keep the faith.

Yours sincerely,

Austin Ruse
President
