Without your support, the world is flat, to quote VCWA Global Symposium speaker Thomas Friedman. There are so many important issues in the world. Poverty. Hunger. Homelessness. So why is it important to support international understanding? Because we make a difference. We believe the VCWA has truly made this world a little safer for us and for our children. We hope you cannot imagine Vermont and a world without our hard work. If you don’t support these efforts, who will? We count on your support--thank you!
