Dear Sir/Madam,we
have learned that Mr. Mika Vanhanen is a candidate in the Champions of the
Earth competition under the thematic area Inspiration and Action.
Over the years, we have been following with great interest and enthusiasm the
inspirational work and action by Mika Vanhanen for the establishment and
functioning of the ENO network school, in fact since some ten years. A great
number of Finnish and international citizens and students have joined him in
his initiative for sustainable development. As a result, thousands of schools
in about 120 countries now belong to the ENO network and contribute to it.
On behalf of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, we should like to
strongly support Mika Vanhanen's candidature for this Champion of the Earth
Award.
