OUR PARTNERS’ COMMITMENT 2007-2008 was a diffi cult year for our partners in the South. Nonetheless, with inspiring courage, they succeeded in improving the social conditions of the poor in communities all over the world. In 2007-2008, DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE sent $11.3 million to its partners in the South to support the implementation of development projects. The organization also disbursed $4.7 million for emergencies.
The most important emergency relief campaign of the year took place for the victims of Cyclone Nargis in Burma. Members and donors raised a remarkable $2.4 million for immediate assistance and reconstruction projects with Caritas Internationalis.
In our regular program, we strove to strengthen the civil society in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East in order to empower the poor in their communities.
As our name indicates, we believe that development and peace are tightly intertwined. In 2007, DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE facilitated meetings with over 30 social organizations in Ecuador and Colombia to fi nd a resolution to confl icts at the border of the two countries. The organizations created structures allowing them to foster alternative dialogue and build peace between their respective communities.
We are proud to be associated with our partners’ work.

POPULAR CAMPAIGNSDEVELOPMENT AND PEACE’s education campaign on the overseas behavior of Canadian mining companies made a lot of noise in 2007-2008.
Over 200,000 Canadians signed the colorful card that asked for the creation of an ombudsman offi ce that would register the complaints of the victims of the activities of Canadian companies, particularly active in Africa and in Latin America. Many Members of Parliament signed the card and were visited by DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE members. This request, offi cially presented to the Prime Minister of Canada, was the object of several interventions in the House of Commons. Unfortunately, the Government has not yet formulated an opinion on the issue.
Our campaigns are planned and organized by an active network of over 13,000 volunteer members across Canada. It is therefore not surprising that the annual DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE Share Lent Campaign continues to be a great success. This year, ten million dollars were collected in 6,000 Catholic parishes in Canada, 1,500 religious congregations and 3,000 schools. Nearly 30% of DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE’s funding comes directly from this campaign. We warmly thank our members!
OUR SOLIDARITY: SOURCE OF HOPECrisis. A word often heard this year: food crisis, fi nancial crisis, oil and resource crisis, crisis from elements gone amok – hurricanes, earthquakes, fl oods. So many events that created an intense feeling of loss of control, of lack of power, of desperation among our fellow human beings.
Christ. The motor of a hope that motivates DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE’s members and volunteers in their search for a world that cares for human beings beyond crisis, calling for a more just and welcoming society. Christ, the source of a hope that resides in many actions here in Canada.
Hope for more responsible Canadian companies thanks to the 200,000 signatures presented in May 2008 to the Canadian Government. Hope for the victims in Burma, ravaged both by a terrible cyclone and an intolerable dictatorial regime. Hope from the pilgrims at the International Eucharistic Congress in Quebec for the landless peasants of Brazil. Hope from the volunteers who, in spite of the snowstorm on the 5th Sunday of Lent, trusted that they could count on the generosity of the Christian communities to hold the collection again. Hope from hundreds of students who, through their ThinkFast, said no to hunger for the poor of the world and yes to sharing and understanding the causes of hunger. Hope from those whose generosity is transmitted through the Share Year-Round program and who affi rm each month that life comes before profi t.
Crisis, yes. Immeasurable, complex and alarming crisis. We are aware of our world, we who scrutinize its mechanisms in order to better unearth and fi ght the structures that destroy human beings. But our vision is full of the courage, of the determination and of the expectations of our partners. It also takes on the devotion and the joy of the 13,000 members of our movement. Each one of them knows that DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE can channel the strengths of the South and of the North to make a difference. Thank you for daring to see the world in a different light.
