Families of Victims of Involuntary Disappearance
Rediscovering Local Strengths, Exploring Possibilities
Proposed by the Families of Victims of Involuntary Disappearance (FIND), a nationwide organization with provincial-chapter membership, aims to explore and address financial sustainability issues that have been confronting the organization for the past five years. The proposed action includes the identification of local chapters and available resources, including domestic and local resources, and planning on how to best access such resources to support the organization’s priorities and programs.
