82. 3000 Voices From Latin America
    by a group of 4050 selected and ‘notorious’ latin americans, and the if we considerthat many sign in representation of their organizations or institutions  
    http://www.fronesis.org/otros/3000voices.htm
    
    Extractions: The “Latin American Statement for Education for All” Rosa-María Torres Since April 2000 and until the end of 2001, nearly three thousand people have signed the “Latin American Statement for Education for All”, a six-page document that was presented at, and prepared on the occasion of, the World Education Forum (Dakar, 26-28 April, 2000). Several elements make this an innovative, valuable and promising experience: The initiative : This is an endogenous initiative, born from Latin American concerns, perceptions and needs, drafted, organized and mobilized by Latin Americans although support from other regions has been stimulated and welcome. The Statement was drafted and initially circulated in Spanish, and later translated into Portuguese (for internal dissemination in Brazil) and into English (for wider international dissemination). The process has been conducted on a voluntary basis, without any financial support. All the following – intellectual ownership, professional and financial independence, use of our own communication languages – are important claims in a region that has started to reject the homogeneous education reform “recipe” and to show the need to recuperate our own rich educational tradition and our own capacities to think, decide and solve our own problems. The signers The content : Signers agree to sign a document that is both critical and propositional. It reflects a growing dissatisfaction in the region not only with the state of the art of education systems but of education reform and of international co-operation for this purpose. Despite perennial school reform efforts, accentuated over the 1990s in the framework of growing technical and financial presence from international agencies – and from the banks, in particular—the expected improved quality and equity in education are not tangible.

    http://www.asu.edu/lib/archives/website/organiza.htm
    
    Extractions: As Euro-Americans settled in Arizona alongside Mexican Americans in the latter part of the 19th century, cultural and religious differences resulted in segregation and eventually discrimination. To protect and maintain their cultural customs and traditions, Mexican Americans formed numerous organizations. Mutual aid societies such as the Alianza Hispano-Americano and La Liga Protectora Latina were organized to assure members their health, accident, and death benefits. Later, organizations such as the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) with its middle class membership, became dedicated to the assimilation of Mexican Americans into the greater society. After World War II, organizations that asserted the Mexicans' rights developed alongside the Civil Rights Movement. In 1968, Chicanos Por La Causa (CLPC) and the Southwest Council of La Raza, both grass-root organizations, were established in Phoenix. Whether for civil liberties, politics or community pride, Mexican American organizations continue to flourish, and to maintain an ethnic pride.

    Extractions: Fraternal History The roots of Phi Iota Alpha were implanted at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Troy, NY in 1898. A group of Latin American students organized the Union Hispano Americana as a cultural and intellectual secret society based on the ideology of Pan-Americanism. The immediate goals of the UHA were to provide a cultural environment for students of Latin America and Spain. The UHA was the first association of Latin American students ever founded in the United States. The ideals and operations of the UHA expanded to several colleges and universities in the United States. However, due to the secrecy imposed upon its members, not many records were kept. The expansion and growth of the UHA was based on compromise and the ultimate need of similar organizations to unify and become more powerful. In the northeastern part of the United States, a group of Latin American students decided to organize a cultural and intellectual fraternity, consequently, Pi Delta Phi fraternity was founded at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1916. Shortly after its foundation, Pi Delta Phi initiated a search to expand to other colleges and universities when they realized the existence of other similar organizations. Pi Delta Phi also initiated a search throughout other American universities for other fraternities with similar goals. First, Pi Delta Phi established communication with Phi Lambda Alpha Fraternity, which had been recently founded in 1919 at the University of Southern California, Berkeley. After some communication, these two organizations realized the existence of the strong non-Greek letter secret society of Union Hispano Americana, and as a result of intensive correspondence and various interviews, the three organizations merged. In their merger agreement, the three organizations adopted the name of Phi Lambda Alpha Fraternity, with the distinctive emblem of Pi Delta Phi and the constitution, goals, and motto of the UHA. This new union was formalized in June 1921, in the city of New York.

    Extractions: SEARCH A note from Marcela "I cover Washington with an eye on Latin America an eye that is neither patronizing nor complacent. I see myself more as a Latin American journalist covering Washington than as a Washington journalist covering Latin American affairs. I do most of my reporting in official Washington the White House, Capitol Hill, the State Department, the Pentagon, multilateral organizations. But critical elements of my thinking come from south of the Rio Grande. I offer a pan-Latin perspective that draws from my experience of covering Washington first as a Latin American correspondent and now as a reporter at The Washington Post. "There is so much more to Washington than right or wrong, good or bad. Decisions are often made for reasons that are not immediately apparent to outsiders. It's my hope to explain the gray areas and offer insight that gives my readers a subtler understanding of this town. "Though Washington's democratic and free-market models have spread through most of the region, at the turn of our century Latin American suspicion and disenchantment remain. I am keeping a close eye on how this dynamic plays out. "It is often said that many in Latin America worry more about Washington than about their next-door neighbors. I understand why and I am writing for them."

    Extractions: Perspective Still Poor, Latin Americans Protest Push for Open Markets 2002-07-20 / New York Times / By Juan Forero REQUIPA, Peru The protest that shook this colonial city last month was very much like others in Latin America recently. There were Marxists shouting 60's-era slogans, and hard-bitten unionists. But there was also Fanny Puntaca, 64, a shopkeeper and grandmother of six. Though she had never before protested, Ms. Puntaca said, she could not bear to see a Belgian company buy what she called "our wealth" the region's two state-owned electrical generators. So armed with a metal pot to bang, she joined neighbors in a demonstration so unyielding that it forced President Alejandro Toledo to declare a state of emergency here, suspend the US$167 million sale and eventually shake up his cabinet. "I had to fight," Ms. Puntaca said proudly. "The government was going to sell our companies and enrich another country. This was my voice, my protest." Across Latin America, millions of others are also letting their voices be heard. A popular and political ground swell is building from the Andes to Argentina against the decade-old experiment with free-market capitalism. The reforms that have shrunk the state and opened markets to foreign competition, many believe, have enriched corrupt officials and faceless multinationals, and failed to better their lives. Sometimes-violent protests in recent weeks have derailed the sale of state-owned companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The unrest has made potential investors jittery, and whipsawed governments already weakened by recession.

    http://www.foreign-student-union.com/latin_american_students.html
    
    Extractions: Latin Students - Hola! While many schools already have associations for Latin-American students , these organizations tend to be geared more towards American students who share a common ancestry in Latin America but who have been living in the United States for all or most of their lives. And while these organizations still serve as excellent resources for students from Latin America who are in the U.S. to study, they may not always be enough. Those who speak little or no English and who have no experience living in the United States, may benefit more from forming alliances with others in their exact situation before assimilating into more traditional Latin-American student organizations. It takes a special kind of motivation to create a new student organization on campus and students from Latin-America who wish to join an organization comprised of foreign students studying in the United States from elsewhere are more likely to have to create something new- than anyone else! There are so few organizations available of this type that we at Foreign-Student-Union.Com
