Fondazione Marista per la Solidarietà Internazionale

The fist issue of FMSI News was published last week. The newsletter will be monthly; it will be published in 5 languages (the four official ones of the Marist Institute and Italian), and will be sent in PDF format by e-mail.

With this publication, FMSI aims at reaching in a more comprehensive way its contacts: partners, collaborators, donors and friends and to keep updated even those who do not regularly access the Foundation’s website. For them FMSI intends to come up with a selection of the news on its website. Because such news items regard the projects, activities, programmes for the promotion of children’s rights carried out by FMSI with the Marist Brothers, their diffusion is a good way of making the Foundation known, but also of giving visibility to what is happening in the Marist world, in the different provinces, countries and missions.

The year 2011 for FMSI was rich in important events: the appointment of General Councillor Br. Michael De Waas as President of the Foundation, the appointment of Br. Mario Meuti as Director of the Rome office, the new impetus in activity for the defence of children’s rights thanks to extending the organization of the Geneva office, the accreditation of the Foundation with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations.

FMSI is advancing in its mission of making the world a better place for children, under the sign of the XXI General Chapter of the Institute of the Marist Brothers. With renewed enthusiasm, therefore, and with the desire of going further, FMSI is seeking to provide itself with the means necessary for communicating its objectives and results in an efficient way and to maintain contact with the Marist world.
