Servas Youth - Appeal for Funding   

Successful organisation of SI Youth Meeting, GA

 

We would appreciate very much all financial help towards enabling young activists or potential activists to participate in the two events. We already have several applications and worry about not being able to support all of these people we would like to join us. It should be taken into account that it is a unique situation when, after the YM, a newly trained and bonded group of Servas young people can immediately experience and contribute to the workings of the organisation as a whole at the GA. Our opinion is that now is the moment to take all the possible steps to attract ‘new blood’ to Servas. We never have a guarantee that there will be a substantial effect of our actions but we do have a guarantee that if we do nothing, there will be no effect at all. Therefore we urge EXCO not to cut funds which were previously allocated to youth meetings and DC funds even if the revenue has diminished – we believe it is precisely the signal to make more effort, not less.

 

And once again, it seems to us that on international level our organisation, with its history and status, is in a very good position to engage in fundraising outside Servas and that it would reasonably be the job of its President,Vice President.

Servas Congo Brazzaville Family Day

 

SERAVS CONGO BRAZZAVILLE CELEBRATES INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES DAY WITH CHILDREN VICTIMS OF THE LAST 4 MARCH TRAGEDY HOST TO THE CENTRE POPOUNIERE IN BRAZZAVILLE MAKELEKELE.

This visit, which was to bring some smiles to the children deprived of family life, was marked by a donation to these children by Servas Congo. Opportunity here to thank on behalf of those children’s , members of Servas Congo and my own behalf, the Servas members of REUNION, who have allowed by their financial participation the constitution of this gift. Special thanks to Jocelyn VIGNAL and Genevieve who have spared no effort to make possible the participation of Servas REUNION.

Confront to several challenges for the management of 15 children that has the center, this gift will allow the center to slightly these difficulties we suggested the center manager, Ms. MALEKA, to whom we gave symbolically some component section of this gift.

 


 

Proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in its resolution of 20 September 1993, this is an event that reflects the importance the international community attaches to families, the basic unit of society and the interest it door to the situation of families worldwide. And encourage governments to focus their efforts on family policy.



The International Day of Families provides an opportunity to better understand the problems facing families and stimulate appropriate action.

 SERAVS CONGO BRAZZAVILLE CELEBRE LA JOURNEE INTERNATIONALE DE LA FAMILLE AVEC LES ENFANTS VICTIMES DE LA TRAGEDIE DU 4 MARS DERNIER HEBERGER AU CENTRE LA POPOUNIERE DE MAKELEKELE A BRAZZAVILLE.

 

A l’occasion de la de la journée Internationale de la famille célébrée chaque 15 Mai, Servas Congo a organisée une visite du centre la pouponnière qui héberge les enfants dont certain sont orphelin et d’autre égarés à la suite de la catastrophes liée aux l’explosions des munitions du camp du régiment blindé de Mpila à Brazzaville le 4 Mars dernier.

Cette visite, qui avait pour but d’apporter un peu de sourire à ses enfants privées de vie de famille a été marquée par une remise d’un don à ces enfants par Servas Congo. Occasion ici de remercier au nom de bénéficières, de membres de Servas Congo et à mon nom propre, les membres de Servas REUNIONqui ont permit par leur participation financière la constitution de ce don. Un remerciement particulier à Jocelyne VIGNAL et Geneviève qui n’ont ménagés aucun effort pour rendre possible cette participation de Servas Réunion.

Confronter a plusieurs difficultés pour la prise en charge de ce 15 enfants que compte le centre, ce don devra permettre au centre la pouponnière de tant soit peu comble ces difficultés nous a laissé entendre la responsable du centre, Mme MALEKA, à qui nous avons remis symboliquement quelques article composant ce dont.

Proclamée par l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies dans sa résolution du 20 septembre 1993, cette est une manifestation qui reflète l'importance que la communauté internationale attache à la famille, cellule de base de la société, ainsi que l'intérêt qu'elle porte à la situation des familles dans le monde. Et inciter les gouvernements à faire porter leurs efforts sur la politique familiale.

La Journée internationale des familles est une occasion de mieux faire comprendre les problèmes que connaissent les familles et stimuler les initiatives appropriées.

Ainsi à travers la réalisation de cette activité qui a connue une couverture médiatique de quelques organe de presse locaux, Servas Congo a espère avoir attiré l’attention des pouvoir publique sur la situation de ces enfants privés de vie de famille au moment ou se célébrée la journée Internationale de la Famille.

En pièces jointes veuillez trouver quelques images témoignant de la tenue de cette activité.

Message of Peace and NOWRUZ from Iran  

 

Hello to all international Servas members

At these days that governments are talking about war, intimidation and aggression is exchanged between politicians, people of my ancient country are happy and are going to welcome to spring and Nowruz celebration.

NOWRUZ is an Iranian ancient celebration and is also widely referred to as the Persian New Year in Iranian calendar and marks the first day of spring. The celebration has its roots in Ancient Iran. Nowruz is celebrated and observed by Iranian peoples and Persians that has spread in many other parts of the world, including parts of Central Asia, Caucasus, South Asia, Northwestern China, the Crimea and some groups in the Balkans, covering Afghanistan, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan countries for over 3,000 years.

 

Nowruz was recently added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. And UN's General Assembly in 2010 recognized 21 March as the International Day of Nowruz.

For three thousand years of world history and for three hundred million people today, Nowruz unites regions and nationalities, religions and languages to share in the renewal of life on the first day of spring."Ban Ki-moon message for Nowruz 2012"

 

Nowruz holidays are a good opportunity for people during the rebirth of nature, to think about and rebuild a safer and more peaceful world for generations to come.

I invite all Servas members from all over the world despite of religion, culture and color, to have a travel to my country in order to be acquainted with ancient and glorious culture of IRAN and peace-loving people, an ancient and rich culture that has been hidden under the heavy dust of politics.

 

In Peace
