A most enriching trip to Edmonton
Ricaardoe Di Done, chief operating officer of Children Now, visited Edmonton this summer with his daughter, Samantha Di Done, to prepare two upcoming sensitization campaigns on anti-bullying and the benefits of family mediation.
Several enriching meetings took place with community members who strive to make a difference by implicating themselves in the cause that touches us all: the well-being of children and families.
Ricaardoe Di Done and his daughter Samantha, had the privilege to meet with Teresa Spinelli, co-patron of honor at Children Now’s International Symposium on Family Mediation, in June 2018. We wish to thank Mrs Spinelli for her consistent community engagement and especially her work for improving the lives of children.
