ADPP wishes all our friends, partners and employees a happy and prosperous 2013 and we thank you for your cooperation in 2012.

The year 2012 was a historic year for Angola, where we celebrated ten years of peace and also held the second ever peacetime general elections. We feel that the many accomplish-ments in the last ten years of progress have been firm steps towards economic and social development.

Many are the people with whom ADPP worked during 2012: future teachers and their train-ers, students and teachers in the new Practical and Theoretical Schools; many tens of thou-sands of teens and adults in the adult education literacy campaigns; families engaged in increasing agricultural production and in community development; community agents, field officers and every person in the communities fighting for control of HIV / AIDS, Malaria and TB.

People side by side, united in humanistic solidarity.

A special greeting to all the people who with passion and courage come together to create a better tomorrow in their community and the world.

As the new year opens its door, ADPP Angola wishes you every success in your work in 2013, another year where you can count on us being at the forefront in fighting for development.

With best wishes
