Glowing words for Going Global with the UN

A UNA colleague in Fort Collins, Colorado has sent a lovely note, mentioning an event held on the MDGs, with over 150 in attendance. They used the DVD "The MDG's: Dream or Reality?" She remarked that "The 'Going Global' series is a treasure. We'll be recommending it to others."

Going Global videos have been shown at UNA events in California, Texas, North Carolina, Illinois and Colorado. For information email me at: jbs@stratdev.com, or telephone 914-478-3450.
