"Greetings from Cyprus, where I am attending a ‘global meeting’ of War Child program managers from various countries. Your name came up on more than two occasions as a ‘person very helpful and useful’ from the Head/ Home Office in Amsterdam. This is a rare reference! In my own personal experience also have the same experience with you.”
