May 12 meeting with Swedish Social Services

to determine Domenic’s fate

If you’ve not emailed your letters to them, please do so ASAP. Go here: http://www.hslda.org/hs/international/Sweden/201005060.asp or if you want to send your email as a mass mailing rather than individually, use these addresses. We’ve confirmed they all work: gustaf.hoffstedt@gotland.se; kjboberg@hotmail.com; sonia.landin@gotland.se; lindvall.ola@telia.com; stora.vikers@telia.com; gunilla.wigren.dahlin@moderat.se; egil.lyngstad@telia.com; b-lindahl@swipnet.se; ann.gardell@telia.com; 2solbbrsj@tjelvar.org; rolle.o@hotmail.com; hamax@telia.com; lars.akerlund@tjelvar.org

Facebook

—Since our last email, we’ve added 167 new members to the group. If you’ve not done so already, please take a moment to invite everyone you know to join Domenic’s group. Facebook has provided an extremely easy way to do this. Simply visit Domenic’s group and look to the left, just under his photo is a list where you will see an option to “Invite People to Join.” If you click on that link, a box will pop up with all your Facebook friends and from there it is very easy to shoot out the invitation to everyone. Additionally, at the bottom of the box, they provide a place for you to add the email addresses of friends and family who are not on Facebook.

Friends of Domenic webpage

—-And don’t forget, we have another avenue for those who do not want to join Facebook. Point those folks to the Friends of Domenic webpage using this link: http://friendsofdomenic.blogspot.com/ Be sure to read the Because They Loved… page on the new site.

Please keep pressing on in your efforts for Domenic

—-Please do not lose your fever for Domenic. Please continue to press on for him and know that efforts on Domenic’s behalf are efforts for the many other children who have been spirited away unjustly by Social Services.

Social Services

—-Additionally, please realize we have nothing against Social Services when they are serving children who are in desperate need. We stand against Social Services when it runs amok, as it has in Domenic’s case, and unfortunately in the case of too many others!

HSLDA encourages its members to communicate their concerns to the Swedish Ambassador. We hope that his influence may help correct an injustice and also pave the way for better laws for homeschoolers in Sweden

HSLDA thanks its members and friends for their ongoing support. It’s when all homeschoolers join together that we are most effective advocating for homeschool freedom in America and abroad.

This family was on their way to India. In a comment on this post https://hef.org.nz/2009/home-schooled-boy-snatched-from-plane-in-sweden/ Cathi said “With the mother being a citizen of India, wouldn’t Dominic have dual citizenship? Maybe we need to also be contacting the Indian Ambassadors in our respective countries to get them to ask why a citizen of India is being held in their country.
So please also write to: High Commission for India in Wellington

Fonterra Research Centre: Workchoice Day – 20 May 2010

Update:

Workchoice Day is fast approaching and we are putting together a fantastic programme for Students! We would be thrilled to have Home School Students at the mid-upper high school level attend.

As per our email below, we have five spaces available in our morning session and five available in our afternoon session.

We have not yet heard from any families, and we wondered if a reminder could please be sent out to families.  Ideally we need to know numbers attending by Tuesday of next week.

Please contact me on the numbers below should you have any queries.  In the meantime, we look forward to hearing from Home School families!

Subject: Workchoice Day – 20 May 2010

Every year, Fonterra Research Centre participates in Workchoice Day This is a national initiative that is designed to demonstrate to Senior High School Students the careers they are able to move into, assisting them in their decisions around tertiary studies.

We would like to invite Home School Students to attend Workchoice Day here at Fonterra Research Centre.  The presentation for the Students will be run twice on the day.  There will be a morning session where lunch will be provided and a final session in the afternoon.  Both presentations are the same.

We have spaces for five students to attend our morning session and another five sessions in the afternoon for students to attend.

If you could please forward this email through to the Home School Families that you have on your mailing list it would be much appreciated.  As spaces are limited, we would appreciate a show of interest as soon as possible.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Kind regards

Debbie
