SCI's History Origins Review of SCI's historical development 1920-1987 Branches dates of foundation The SCI archives in Switzerland Origins The concept of workcamps evolved from a group of devoted individuals' efforts, sparked by the convictions of Pierre Ceresole . After World War I, Ceresole's pacifism and his interest in the philosophy of William James led him to create what he hoped would evolve as an alternative to military service. He and others went to work in a war-torn village in France. They helped with reconstruction, working to diffuse war hostilities. Thus the first workcamp was born. As the number of workcamps grew, SCI was formed and workcamps directed more attention to the needs of the underprivileged. During this period, workcamps spread outside of Europe to Asia and Africa. In the developing countries the emphasis was upon community development, education and agriculture. Workcamps take place because a project needs outside support. The workcamp is designed to help the project to eventually become independent. Short review of SCI's historical development 1920-1987 Source: SCI International Archives Pierre Ceresole and Hubert Parris organise and carry out with a small international team reconstruction service in the was devastated village Esnes near Verdun in France.

History Discovered by the Portuguese in 1505, Mauritius was subsequently held by the Dutch, French, and British before independence was attained in 1968. A stable democracy with regular free elections and a positive human rights record, the country has attracted considerable foreign investment and has earned one of Africa's highest per capita incomes. Recent poor weather and declining sugar prices have slowed economic growth leading to some protests over standards of living in the Creole community. UNAIDS Epidemiological Fact Sheets [English] [French] Global Surveillance of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is a joint effort of WHO and UNAIDS. The UNAIDS/WHO Working Group on Global HIV/AIDS and STI Surveillance, initiated in November 1996, guides respective activities. The primary objective of the working group is to strengthen national, regional and global structures and networks for improved monitoring and surveillance of HIV/AIDS and STIs. For this purpose, the working group collaborates closely with national AIDS programmes and a number of national and international experts and institutions. The goal of this collaboration is to compile the best information available and to improve the quality of data needed for informed decision-making and planning at national, regional and global levels. The Epidemiological Fact Sheets are one of the products of this close and fruitful collaboration across the globe.

Mauritius Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights Report of the Working Group on Minorities The Working Group on Minorities (WG) undertook its first visit to Mauritius since its establishment in 1995. The visit took place from 7 to 10 September 2001 and the Group went to the main island of Mauritius as well as to Rodrigues Island. In addition to meetings with authorities, the mission also met with representatives of minority communities, journalists, representatives of NGOs and leaders of political parties. The report of the visit ( E/CN.4/Sub.2/AC.5/2002/2 , 3 April 2002) notes that the two primary issues during the visit were the constructive accommodation of the various ethnic groups on the main island of Mauritius, and plans for the autonomy of Rodrigues Island. With regard to the first issue, attention focussed on the legislation and its implementation in practice, including the representation of different communities in political and social life, and on the issues of languages and education. Concerning the second, the Group held discussions with representatives of the local population of Rodrigues Island. Information is provided in the report on the history of the country as well as on the current structure of government. The report notes that four main ethnic groups have constitutional recognition - Indo-Mauritians (68 per cent of the population), Creole (mostly Afro descendants, 27 per cent), Sino-Mauritians (3 per cent) and Franco-Mauritians (2 per cent). The religious composition of the population is mainly Hindu, Christian or Muslim, with approximately 3 per cent of the population adhering to other belief systems. English is the official language but the most commonly spoken languages are French and Creole.

OPENING STATEMENT BY MR TIM FISCHER, THE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA AND MINISTER FOR TRADE, TO THE FIRST MINISTERIAL MEETING OF THE INDIAN OCEAN RIM ASSOCIATION FOR REGIONAL COOPERATION, 6 MARCH 1997 Mr Chairman - Dear Friends, Let me say formally that Australia commits to the charter of the Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation. I am delighted to be in Mauritius for this important launch. It is a truly beautiful country. THANKS TO MAURITIUS The establishment of the IOR-ARC at this meeting will be an historic achievement, and we all owe congratulations and thanks to the Government of Mauritius for its far sighted initiative and hard work in bringing us to this point. Mauritius has demonstrated with this achievement that the quality of leadership does not depend on size. It has become not only the natural crossroads of the Indian Ocean, but the actual crossroads, as well. AUSTRALIA'S INDIAN OCEAN LINKS Australia is deeply committed to the process of economic cooperation that has been established here. The map to my left reminds us of Australia's extensive Indian Ocean coastline and our natural interest in maritime and regional cooperation issues. What is less well known is that our Indian Ocean state, Western Australia, with its capital of Perth, has Australia's fastest growing economy and also accounts for the largest share of our total export earnings.

LUXURY HOTELS IN INDIA Bhutan HISTORY: Mystery surrounds Bhutan's distant past, as priceless irretrievable documents were lost in fires and earthquakes. In the 18th century AD, Guru Padma Sambhava made his legendary trip from Tibet to Bhutan on the back of a flying tigress. He meditated at Taktsang, Tiger's Nest, in the Paro Valley. Guru Rinpoche (Precious Master) is the father of the Tantric strain of Mahayana Buddhism practiced in Bhutan Sgabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, a tibetan lama of the Drukpa School, arrived in Bhutan in1616. He introduced the present dual system of religious and secular government. Shabdrung unified the country, and established himself as the country's supreme leader and vested civil power in a high officer known as the Druk Desi. Religious affairs were charged to another leader, the Je Khenpo. For two centuries following Shabdrung's demise, civil wars intermittently broke out, and the regional penlops (governors) became increasingly more powerful. This ended when an assembly of representa1tives of the monastic community , civil servants and the people, elected the Penlop of Trongsa, Ugen Wangchuck, the First King of Bhutan in 1907. The monarchy has thrived ever since, and the present Fourth King, His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck, commands the overwhelming support for his people.

The extraordinarily diverse region of Southern Africa boasts some of the richest countries on the continent, such as Botswana, Mauritius, and South Africa, as well as some of the poorest, such as Tanzania and Mozambique. Although the region is dominated by South Africa, which produces 79 percent of the region's economic output, internal conflicts have been the principal reason why the region has yet to fulfill its tremendous potential. Southern Africa is blessed with virtually every known resource needed to succeed: a strong mineral and natural resource base including oil, diamonds, platinum, and gold, rich agricultural lands, teeming seas, good infrastructure, stable governments, a relatively skilled labor force, and a growing commitment to democratic rule.
