BRIDGING BORDERS

October 2013

Dear BABSEA CLE Friends and Supporters,

Welcome to October and our next quarterly newsletter. This newsletter will help you get up to speed on what we at BABSEA CLE have been doing for the third quarter of 2013. Our permanent team, volunteers, interns and friends have been kept busy with their numerous projects and events.

There are articles from Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Myanmar, Australia and Laos. Some highlights of the newsletter are the article on the Wildflower Project, the preparations for the 2nd South East Asia/Asia Pro Bono Conference and Workshop and some great reflections written by interns and volunteers about their time with BABSEA CLE. We believe that all the articles are worth a read as they help to paint a picture of the ever growing BABSEA CLE family.

We’d like to send a huge thank you to all our team members, volunteers, interns, partners, supporters and friends who have helped us to achieve so much. It is clear from these articles how important and meaningful your work and support is. You continue to make such a difference.

We hope you enjoy this newsletter and we welcome your feedback on the newsletter and our work.
