Dear BABSEA CLE Friends and Supporters,

2013 has been a year full of great memories for BABSEA CLE to take forward into the New Year. We have experienced many successes we can build upon and challenges that we can learn from. There have been developments into new areas alongside the strengthening of ties with our past projects and partners.

We want to share with you, our supporters, the journey we have taken this year to give you an insight to what lies ahead. BABSEA CLE has built its global presence through participation at various international Pro Bono Conferences and has also strengthened its scope in South East Asia. We have begun a process of implementing CLE programs in Myanmar a nation previously untouched by clinical legal education. These significant achievements have been accompanied by the successes of our smaller projects that provide us with endless satisfaction.

Behind our achievements, large and small, there have been many people that have supported us and grown with us to create a year that has been a joy to have been a part of. We want to thank our readers, supporters, partners, volunteers and interns for helping us achieve so much. It has been a privilege to work with you all and we are grateful for your time and enthusiasm in helping to support our cause. We look forward to now working to ensure 2014 is as successful as 2013
