Second answer (!)

3 days after, as I was still on vacations, came this second letter from Megan:

Hi Jean, I hope you received my message; I think our emails ‘crossed’ at some point! I’ve mentioned your interest to Amsterdam Cares and they’re happy to speak with you. The board president, Wouter Metz, is in Paris weekly and could meet with you there, or they also invite you to come over to Amsterdam to learn more about their operations onsite. I’d love to speak with you by phone next week to offer some responses to your questions below. I also invite you to peruse some of our online resources… some suggestions are below. I look forward to speaking with you soon; feel free to let me know a couple of times at your convenience and I’ll be happy to call you.

Online resources:

Due to the post-merger integration still taking place, our online resources are in a few different places at the moment, some carrying outdated branding but still good content! We are planning to launch a new online ‘affiliate member center’ with these items in a central location in the spring. In the meantime, these two links have a good amount of our latest program resources:

Warm regards,

There are even videos to learn how to succesfully build a caring project up!
Very useful, and motivating :)

I've got to come back to this article for some feedback on the diverse resources. I have to look at all this first!
