Passing on info. on the web directory detailed below on
development/environment resources, organisations, publication and on-line
papers/documents. They have a good set of resources and web-links on
children - definitely worth a look, especially if your work with children
overlaps with environmental or development issues.
For list members who are part of organisations working with children, you
may wish to see if your organisation is listed in this directory. If not,
use the web page to find out more about this resource and being a part of it.
