You've been around for the last years but I never had the chance to talk to you. I even was invited to join but for some reason it didn't happened. I went the other way, joined Demotix I remember. You've been so close!

I've heard so many things about you! I started reading and watching you from the distance, always in the shade but spreading “your voice” through the network. All the inspiring people you have, they showed me the world that I believe in. Together you've showed the tools to advocate for justice, equality and freedom of speech. I've learned a lot, thanks to you: Global Voices!

After all this years I finally joined the family in October'14. Just in time for your 10th anniversary. Happy birthday!

Thanks for having me!
