Dear young Lasallian brothers and sisters,

We have just returned from the Quebec Symposium experience in Canada and feel the need to continue working harder on the Worth link and to circulate it to more people.

From Quebec we learnt that the circulation of this publication is more than what we anticipate since a number of registered recipients are forwarding this to their friends also - Well done keep it going and spread the work of St. John Baptist De La Salle.

In addition, the number of users who now shall be receiving the Worth link is three times that which started receiving it back in 1999.

We ask those users who are not receiving the issue directly from us but through forwarding by a friend to please register with us.

It was really great meeting and catching up with some of you in Canada. Renewing the friendships from Worth, and meeting people who we had also met in Rome rekindles the fire we have in us.

Let us keep in contact through this monthly e-mail which for now is still called the Worth link but will soon change its name.

We spoke to a number of you on new ideas for this monthly e-mail. We aim to give it a more international perspective and certain articles will now be in French and Spanish as well. We can greatly improve this issue with your help. Help us to give it a more international outlook by forwarding us any information on what is going on in your school, class, region, district.........

Quebec 2002 was yet another great experience with a difference..........we are about to create a new baby, our own baby. Let us remember the fraternity that reigned amongst us during the days in Quebec and spread it around us:

"We are the salt of the earth"

We will be back in the end of August now!

Yours in La Salle

Ivan, Mark and David.
