In reference to the last Presidential Note I would like to publish here the translation of the letter sent to all members of German Parliament on September 1, 2011, written by the DFW Germany (member of IHEU):
Call to support a secular state
Honored members of the Parliament,
by Rabindra Bhattarai
Times without number, I have paused to ask myself how I found myself on the international humanist scene. Really, it is a question I have appreciated more as a critical point of reference to remind me of the wonderful friends and contacts who believed at that time (whether they still share the belief is up to them for I have not had contact with many of them in a while) that there should be a good link between the north based humanist organisations and those in the south. A wonderful idea that must have sprung as a thought on someone's mind.
Relationships are vital tonic for human co-existence. The ubiquitous nature of this can be found in the pattern of interactions between man and woman, friends, family members, collegues, people out of the same society or foreigners, who have similar interests like the fans enjoying world cup (currently) in South Africa. One can then only imagine what the world would be without these plethoras of mutually beneficial relationship.
