Happy Child Foundation Newsletter withdrawn

Within the ranks of the new license holder 'Stichting Happy Child' in Nijmegen, officially recognized on December 23, 2005, there has been disagreement for some time. Two coordinators left the Stichting Happy Child in February 2006 due to incompatible positions. The consequences of this for this license holder are not yet known.

This news came to light when Adoptie Trefpunt was approached in mid-March with the request to remove the newsletter issued and published by Happy Child from the website.
Assuming that an officially distributed and published newsletter takes place on behalf of the Foundation and not in a personal capacity, we contacted the chairman with the question whether we should comply with this request submitted in a personal capacity.
The two-line answer received on March 21, 2006 read:

"You may remove this newsletter. We kindly request you to place our next newsletter in due time.
Kind regards,
Liang Shi
Chairman Happy Child Foundation"

Surprised by this answer, we then pointed out to the chairman that the newsletter published and distributed by this Foundation is published on numerous fellow websites and forums. And that, if Happy Child chooses to actually remove this newsletter from circulation, they should also be given the same assignment.
Nevertheless, we respect the answer of the chairman of the board and have promised to remove the Happy Child newsletter from our website.
Adoptie Trefpunt has informed the Happy Child Foundation that it will inform its visitors why this newsletter will suddenly no longer be available on the Adoptie Trefpunt website.
