Reactions
from
Argentina
Educator Eduardo and LL Advisor Marcela Maso
A reaction 2007 from a new school in Argentina:
All their work there is quite important and their job is double: educate according to the curriculum and according to human rights and interests. I think they will be very active because, as Eduardo told us, Life-Link fits their aim of integrating feelings, thoughts and way of living. So, here's another school. /Marcela

Australian Embassy in Stockholm
"Life-Link´s ´Youth Peace Actions 2000+´ is a highly commendable initiative that promises to do much to promote communication amongst the world´s youth. In recognition of this and your desire for more schools to join the campaign, I have forwarded the manual to the Australian Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs. I wish Life-Link every success with ´Youth Peace Actions 2000+´. Yours sincerely Sephen Bradly, Ambassador." 1999
Governor-General
"The Governor-General has asked me to thank you for your letter. While the governor-General fully supports the ideal of international communication between our youth and universal harmony, he regrets that, as a general practice, he does not send messages to organisations, or become involved in initiatives, with which he is not personally associated in respect of events outside Australia. Yours sincerely, Kevin Davidson, Senior Adviser to the Governor-General." 1999

"October 19, the IDEAS day 1996, we hope to find a suitable street, plant trees, and make it become 'Life-Link Alley'. It will also be an action day for general cleaning of the Sarajevo city. All the highschool students and teachers will participate, and community firms will help too. Let us hope for nice weather!"

Reaction from a school teacher in Arica, participating in the Life-Link & UNESCO Culture of Care pilot project 2007. The
students' reactions were excellent, they change their attitude towards
themselves and others.They are against war and they love peace.
I must say that I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to
participate in this program.
Cuba
Embassy of Cuba in Sweden
"I have forwarded the Life-Link information material to the Ministry of Education. For us it is extremely gratifying to see that Cuban schools, although not a part of this project, are heading towards the creation of a new human being that amongst other values cultivates environmental control, health, the importance of avoiding war and safeguarding peace, as well as both individual and collective concern, and other important aspects that we find included in the Life-Link Manual. Twinning between Cuban schools and schools in other parts of the world is also taking place, and have turned out to be an interesting and enriching experience….I thank you again for your kindness, and we wish this project will be successful. Sincerely yours, Marianela Ferriol, Ambassador" 1999
