IHEYO

Dear Readers of the YouthSpeak,

it is December. But it is not just the time to look back to the soon finished year 2008 and all its memorable moments. It is more a time of very important events, actions and things we should be reminded of every time again. Just examples like the World Aids Day on the 1st December could not be highlighted enough in all our attention and our activities, the Human Rights Day on 10th December, also with its 60. anniversary this time. Between all the preparations for Christmas, New Year's Eve and wishes for the next year, I hope you will find some time just to reflect good things, which are already done, but also raise your head for open questions and in the direction of things, which still need our full encouragement and support wherever you are.

With all good wishes to the final steps of 2008 and a happy start into the new year.

Yours Silvana Uhlrich,

President of IHEYO.
