The Right To Participate Participation in organised groups Children from the Ashaninka indigenous group stand inside their school in Junin, Peru. More than half the children (52%) indicate that they belong to some organised peer group, with those living in the Caribbean reporting the highest participation in groups (70%). Mexico, Andean countries, and the Southern Cone have the highest figures for those who say they don't belong to any organised peer group. Of the 31% who say they participate in a sports group, the highest participation is among those in rural areas, high and middle socio-economic status, males and blacks. 16% of the children surveyed report belonging to some religious group and half that number to an artistic group, such as music or theatre. Click below to view the responses to the questions related to this issue: [view] Situations of concern among peer groups The issues of greatest interest and concern within peer groups include school studies and gaining university entrance (32%) reported the most in Andean countries, Central America and Mexico; delinquency and security (21%), mostly in Brazil, the Southern Cone and Central America; and drug addiction and alcoholism (15%), particularly in Brazil. Other concerns making up less than 10% included family problems, friendships, and unemployment.

The Right To Grow Up In Conditions Of Physical, Mental And Spiritual Health "Everything we have today is as a result of someone's dream.” - Stephanie, age 17, Costa Rica. The right to have a family A football practice in Salvador, Brazil. The family is experiencing a process of change within its basic nucleus. There is a high rate (one in four) of absence of the father figure, and 7% of respondents live with neither a biological father or mother, a condition most prevalent in the Caribbean (12%). One in five young children and adolescents (22% of total sample) live only with their mother, with the highest incidence in Brazil (26%) and the Caribbean (24%). While present in all the segments, the occurrence increases as income goes down, for inhabitants of urban areas, females, adolescents and blacks. Click below to view the responses to the questions related to this issue: [view] [view] Prevalence of feelings of happiness A third of respondents indicate that they experience feelings of happiness infrequently - 27 per cent say they feel happy only on some occasions and 5 per cent say they never or almost never feel happy. This increases within the segments having less income, with black or indigenous racial background, those who work for pay, and adolescents (who say the family is their main source of feelings of happiness or unhappiness.)

For example, on their return home [from Angola], the 300,000 Cubans sent to Africa were first in line for housing, jobs, and education. Such benevolence breeds dedication, some young people say."

46. New & Notable latin American partnershipThe latin American Studies Program at Mount Holyoke The following people have left MHC Denise Almodovar, equestrian center; http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/comm/csj/970321/notable.html

Applications break 2,300 mark Applications for first-year admission topped 2,300 this month for the first time since 1982, representing the third largest applicant pool and the largest one-year increase in applications in the College's history! A total of 2,300 applications for the class of 2001 represents a 274-person increase, or 13.5 percent increase, over last year's figures. Latin American partnership The Latin American Studies Program at Mount Holyoke has recently established a five-year cooperative degree program with the Center for Latin American Studies at Georgetown University. Currently, Smith, Brown, and Dartmouth are the only other institutions participating in the program. MHC Latin American studies majors can now earn a master's degree at Georgetown in one calendar year by participating in one of Georgetown's summer programs (in Chile or Mexico) after the junior or senior year. Those two summer courses, plus two 300-level courses taken at Mount Holyoke, will be counted toward both the undergraduate and master's degree programs, allowing students to finish all requirements by the end of the summer following full-time enrollment in the master's program at Georgetown. For students particularly interested in the strengths of Georgetown's Latin American program and the unique opportunities offered by its Washington, D.C., location, the cooperative degree program offers an ideal combination of academic preparation and accelerated progress toward the master's degree.

But a group of newly elected leaders across the region, being widely described as part of a swing back to the socialistic past, are hardly revolutionaries. In elections Sunday, voters chose a socialist president in Uruguay, 23 governors in Venezuela who are allied with the populist president Hugo Chavez, and more than 2,000 local officials throughout Chile, a majority of whom are members of the progressive governing coalition headed by President Ricardo Lagos. Only in Brazil, where President Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva has spearheaded the modernization of Latin American socialism in the past two years, did elections go against the prevailing trend. In Sao Paulo, the nation's largest city, voters chose a more conservative mayor over the incumbent from Lula's pro-labor party.

May 2005 Building Conservation Medicine Capacity to Protect Biodiversity in Latin America Managing NGO, country : Wildlife Trust, United States. Project Director : Alonso Aguirre Synopsis Emerging pathogens and the diseases they cause are increasing in Latin America and are negatively affecting wildlife, resulting in drastic changes in species abundance, which can affect ecosystem stability and resilience to changes in habitat and climate. It is not an exaggeration to state that pathogen pollution has become a major threat to biodiversity conservation in Latin America. Wildlife Trust proposes to address this impending crisis, to create the field and practice of conser vation medicine in Latin America, beginning in Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and Chile. This will involve bringing together professionals in relevant health and natural science disciplines and lobbying governments and research institutes to create courses and build facilities for conservation medicine. U ltimately, we seek to change the paradigm of conservation in Latin America to include the concept of healthy ecosystems as the basis of human and wildlife well-being.

Lulu Delacre c/o Scholastic 555 Broadway New York, NY 10012-3999 write me! I create my books out of love and the conviction that they are sorely needed, and I've seen them succeed. I've measured their success in the proud smiles of many Latino children as they join hands with their schoolmates and myself, in the game song of Arroz con Leche . Or as we all sing vejigante chants behind paper masks when recreating a carnaval . For when these Latino children feel their classmates' enjoyment of their own language and heritage, they know acceptance. They may even glimpse the value of retaining their parents' traditions and tongue as they embrace new ones. I was born in Río Piedras, Puerto Rico, the middle child in a family of three daughters. My parents are from Argentina. Growing up in the island was a fun-filled experience, where climbing up a tamarindo tree with a friend to eat its fruit was as commonplace as hunting for tiny brown lizards. I used to gently open their mouths and hang them from my earlobes as earrings! My earliest recollections of drawingI must have been five thengo back to my grandmother's house. My grandma, Elena, was from Uruguay. She babysat my sister and me, in the second floor apartment of an old pink house, while my parents taught at the University of Puerto Rico. She would give me white sheets of paper in which I would draw as I lay on the floor of her bedroom and listened to the classical records she played. I don't remember her ever throwing away one of my pictures. She kept them neatly piled in a corner of her closet.

This AIDS conference enabled those of us who live with AIDS in Latin America, to begin to be concious of the importance of assuming a proactive role against this illness and to leave aside the role of helpless victim in order to begin to denounce the human rights violations which occur against us. We need to stop asking for favors and start demanding our rights by carrying out concrete actions to seek quality medical attention including access to retroviral medications.

What must be done to remedy the situation? By Diego Cevallos* MEXICO CITY - Hugo Estrada, 43, has been HIV-positive for the last five years and says he is content with his life. He has studied at the graduate level, he has access to antiretroviral medications, timely medical treatment as well as psychological support. Furthermore, he receives a disability pension and he has strong family support. Estrada's case might be considered normal in an industrialised country, but in Latin America, where there are 1.4 million people with HIV/AIDS - 130,000 who became infected this year - he is the exception.

56. Classical Liberalism In Argentina: A Lesson For The World among the most notable), people were free to engage in any economic enterprise Since then, Argentina has become just another latin American country, http://www.fff.org/freedom/0794a.asp

www fff.org Send to a friend Classical Liberalism in Argentina: A Lesson for the World by Jacob G. Hornberger , July 1994 The history of Argentina provides the answer that we are seeking to this vitally important question. Argentina declared its independence from Spain on May 25, 1810. For several decades after that, the country was plunged into a series of disastrous civil conflicts, which culminated in "order" being established under a brutal tyrant by the name of Juan Manuel de Rosas. In 1852, Rosas was overthrown and forced into exile. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations it had been governments' attempts to defeat poverty that had prevented nations from becoming wealthy and prosperous There were a few countries in the 1800s that put Smith's ideas to the test. Among them was Argentina. Alberdi's book, Bases for the Political Organization of the Argentine Republic , first published in 1852, the year of Rosas' defeat, became the framework for the new Argentine constitution. The spirit of liberty still lives in the words of Juan Alberdi: "Today we must strive for free immigration, liberty of commerce, railroads, the navigation of our rivers, the tilling of our soil, free enterprise, not instead of our initial principles of independence and democracy, but as essential means of assuring ourselves that these will cease being mere words and will become realities. . . . Our revolutionary wars sought to establish liberty from outside oppression . . . what we now need is liberty within. . . . Our leaders want both glory and liberty, and the two are contradictory. . . . As South America has contributed nothing to world civilization except its wars and the victory in its struggle for independence, the only glory which exists among us is martial glory, and our great men are all military heroes. Not a single invention like that of Franklin, like that of Fulton, like the telegraph, and many others which the civilized world owes to North America, has been contributed by our America of the south."
