Hi there,
Our annual Boxing
Day<http://www.icebase.com/go2.shtml?CrKdvaH3Fot5pCti/b89af345e4e61641/ca3d5ca5 33de0204/gramari...@gmail.com>*
letter is great way to reflect upon what we have achieved over the past
twelve months. So grab a hot drink, curl up on a seat and settle in.
I may be biased but as we enter our twelfth year no one exemplified the
power of good design to uplift lives more than Architecture for Humanity's
thousands of volunteers, local chapters and design fellows.
We've been involved in fifty three projects this year. Everything from

*.
In 2010 over 81,000 people benefited directly from our work – not just
inspired or influenced by the power of good design - but actually living,
healing, learning or working in structures designed and constructed by our
teams of building professionals. For the third year running we've completed
a project on every continent of the world. It is only because of the
dedication of our partners and our donors that we are able to achieve this
reach and quality of work.
Cheers,
Cameron Sinclair
