Dear En Vero Donors.

Once again, thank you for your on-going support.

Since our last report in January 2018, and beside our regular activities of investigation and legal support to the victims on a daily basis - thanks to our team of dedicated volunteers from different countries and locations around the world- we also participated in one major event in Mexico City earlier this month.

The president of En Vero, M. David Bertet, and renowned Mexican journalist, founder of the Los Ángeles Press and close contributor of ours Ms. Guadalupe Lizárraga both gave speeches on the subjects of practices of wrongful incarceration and on terrorism of State at the 10th Congress of the Liga Mexicana por la Defensa de los Derechos Humanos (Mexican League in Defense of Human Rights), which was held on April 20, at the conference room of the Universidad Tecnológica de Nezahualcóyotl.

We invite you to consult the following update on our expenses since our last report in January 2018. 

We were able to raise 9,994$ (CAN) thanks to all of you who participated in our second fundraising campaign with GlobalGiving. All of the amount of our past donations has now been used, and we are proud to announce you that we will launch our 2018 fundraising campaign with GlobalGiving within the next 3 weeks. Stay tuned!

• Office expenses (including mailing, printing, website maintenance): $1050.41 CAD
• Travel expenses: $4311.61 CAD 
• Work meetings: $211 CAD. This section includes the rent of work spaces for our meetings.
• Professional fees (Investigation, translation): $203 CAD (unchanged) 
• Direct help to the victims: $323 CAD. In this section, we take into account the expenses aimed at providing immediate physical and psychological assistance to the victims.

 Total spent (between July 2017 and April 26, 2018): $6098 CAD

We kindly invite our regular donors to renew their confidence in our work and mission, on the occasion of the soon-to-be-launched 2018 fundraising campaign with GlobalGiving. Our goal for April 2018 is ambitious, though realistic: we hope to raise at least $70000 CAN.

We also would like to remind you that the En Vero work team is composed of dedicated volunteers. Your generosity allows us to perform our activities and fulfill our mission in support of the victims of injustice and their families. We hope that with your help, we will be able to free more innocents in 2018; given our past successes, and knowing that our methods proved to be highly effective in previous cases, we strongly believe this will be the case.

Kune por pli justa mondo. Together, for a better world.
