Dear Friends,

On behalf of Distressed Children & Infants International (DCI), we cordially invite you, your family, and friends to join the 4th Annual Conference on Child Rights and Sight taking place on Saturday, September 28, 2013 at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Please join us for a day of engaging and informative presentations followed by a relaxing evening of networking.

The Conference on Child Rights & Sight convenes leaders from the fields of child rights, global health, international development, and social entrepreneurship to:

• Discuss the nature of child poverty in the 21st century and promote awareness of children's rights in local, national, and international communities
• Provide a forum for discussing creative, community-driven methods for addressing child labor, hunger, poverty and blindness

This September, the conference will bring together thoughtful and concerned citizens from the Yale community, from across the United States, and from around the world to share their successes in the field of child rights and learn about ongoing issues faced by the world's children. Your attendance at this event will be greatly appreciated, as the enthusiasm and support of rising global leaders like you is essential to make our difficult mission a success. As a conference participant, you'll learn about child rights issues from passionate speakers, as well as meet and network with individuals concerned with protecting children.

To date, this year's speakers include President of the UNICEF Executive Committee Dr. A.K. Abdul Momen and other leading national and international experts in the fields of children's rights, blindness prevention and child poverty.
