On behalf of Distressed Children & Infants (DCI) International, we are very excited to tell you about the upcoming second annual Child Rights Conference and Concert. This important event will be held at Harkness Auditorium, Yale University, in New Haven, Connecticut on October 17, 2009.

Hundreds of attendees from Connecticut and all over the world will be there for this innovative, high-impact conference. Approximately 500 individuals will attend and more than 15 internationally-known speakers will share their expertise regarding the issue of children's rights and child poverty in the 21st century. Also there will an evening of entertainment by well-known local and international performers.

Distressed Children and Infants International (DCI), is a US-based nonprofit child rights organization. It was founded in 2005 to improve the socio-economic, educational, and health conditions of underprivileged children in the United States and worldwide (especially in India, Bangladesh, and the Philippines.) DCI’s mission is to advocate for child rights, and to help severely underprivileged children worldwide remove themselves from poverty by providing basic life necessities, education, and health care. We also seek to educate American children about the challenges facing children worldwide, and to foster in them a desire to take a leadership role in working for humanitarian causes.

We encourage you to visit our website. There you can learn more about the programs DCI has implemented to make the world a better place for children. (www.distressedchildren.org)

Thank you for your support to our cause. Without people like you, we would not be able to brighten the lives of the children and families we support.
