· MESSAGE BY KEN COLLOTON, PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD ALLIANCE OF YMCAs
Upon receiving the issue of “YMCA Observatory” dated June 2011, published by the Young Men’s Christian Association / YMCA of the Republic of Argentina, Kenneth Colloton, President of the World Alliance of YMCAs, sent us, generously, the following message: “It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that I read your current update and observations. The work of your YMCA is substantial and touches the lives of under-served, ordinary, and people of influence, which means that you are very unique to be a considerable valuable and collaborative community asset. I applaud your youth peace work on several continents as you bring the goodwill and experiences of your Argentine people to other YMCA venues- and bring that experience back to your hometowns. Nicely done. Please give my regards and appreciation to your staff and volunteers-especially to your Board and Officers- for the fine contribution of the Argentina YMCA. Reading your observations has made this day a beautiful one for me, thanks so much for sharing.”
· TENTH NATIONAL CONGRESS ON VALUES, CRITICAL THOUGHT AND SOCIAL FABRIC
Argentine YMCA organized the Tenth National Congress on Values, Critical thought and Social Network, on September 22 and 23 at the Auditorium “San Agustín” of the Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina. Over 500 people attended this activity which presented thirty-two speakers and was developed under the motto: “Imperatives of the Third Century as a Nation: Integral development, social inclusion and culture of meeting”. The main opinion leaders of Argentina’s public and private life had their space in the panels: governors, politicians, social leaders, educators, scientists, members of religious orders, figures of the culture, among others. The Congress was preceded by five pre-congresses in Rosario, Mendoza, Entre Ríos, Salta and in the Province of Buenos Aires. The evaluation was truly positive and the organization process of the Eleventh Congress is already under way, for September 27 and 28, 2012, which motto will be: “Education Quality: challenge for a future with a hopeful horizon.”
· JOINT PUBLICATION: ARGENTINA’s YMCA/ UNICEF
As a result of their joint work during four years, YMCA of Argentina and UNICEF published the following: “Parliaments as space for teenagers’ participation and citizenship education”. The document has been widely distributed and used as a model of program based on the experience of “YMCA’s Parliaments”, an initiative of Argentine YMCA.
· THOUSAND MILLENIUMS
YMCA of Argentina was appointed as Embassy of Peace by the international organization “THOUSAND MILLENIUMS” (MIL MILENIOS). During a ceremony held in the Argentine National Congress in September, Sofía Sánchez Acosta, Vice-chairman of the Board of Directors, received the flag as Ambassador of Peace.
· INTERNSHIPS AND LEADER EXCHANGE
During this summer, Argentina’s YMCA will receive leaders from the YMCAs of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Montevideo, Uruguay. In turn, a leader will be sent to Sao Paulo. Two professional internships of Argentine YMCA are also planned at the YMCAs of Perú and Montevideo, Uruguay, respectively. In February, we expect the visit of the executive director of the YMCA of Toledo, Spain. In July, a leader of the Argentine YMCA will take part of the programme “Journey for Justice” of the Palestinian YMCA. Additionally, there are other internship and exchange experiences in progress.
· ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE EMBASSY OF AUSTRIA
On November 16, in the emblematic Golden Hall (packed with people) of the House of Culture of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, the Embassy of Austria granted a special acknowledgement award to Norberto Rodríguez, secretary general of Argentina’s YMCA. In his communication, the Austrian Ambassador to the Republic of Argentina, Mr. Robert Zischg pointed out the following: “I am pleased to inform you that the Government of Austria decided to honour you, among other personalities, for your constant commitment and dedication to the defence of human rights and against discrimination.”
· 110th ANNIVERSARY OF ARGENTINE YMCA
In 2012, Argentina’s YMCA will celebrate its 110th anniversary. A complete program has been prepared for the occasion, in which the inter-religious ceremony to be held at the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral stands out. This celebration will be presided over by the Archbishop and Primate of the Republic of Argentina, Cardinal Jorge M. Bergoglio.
· YMCA of ARGENTINA INVITED TO ISRAEL
Norberto Rodriguez, secretary general of the Argentine YMCA, has been invited by the AMIA (Argentine-Israelite Mutual Association) and Project Interchange (USA) to form part of a delegation of twelve leaders, all of them social opinion leaders, which will visit Israel in February 2012. Both the World Alliance of YMCAs and the Palestinian YMCA were informed about this by the Argentina’s YMCA. Both organizations gave their solid backing to the project. Argentine YMCA has a close cooperation relation with the Palestinian YMCA framed within the enduring value of justice and peace. For Argentina’s YMCA, the invitation from Jewish organizations represents a substantial and strong acknowledgement.

- FIRST NATIONS (INDIGENOUS PEOPLE)
From June 1 to 7 a new edition of the PERMANENT FORUM FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ RIGHTS –initiative of Argentina’s YMCA- was held. It included the exhibition of traditional craftwork in their metropolitan venues, the Ceremony of the Pachamama (Mother Earth), at the hall of the head offices. Children participated in these activities as part of the institution’s educational programme. They got actively involved and sang in the original language of the indigenous peoples. The Forum was attended by a leader of the Qom community “La Primavera” (“The Spring”), which for five months set up camp right in the middle of downtown Buenos Aires and cut off one of the most emblematic avenues in this capital for five days. Mr. Díaz exposed the ruthlessness of his people’s daily life, pierced through by severe mistreatment situations.
- 167th ANNIVERSARY OF WORWIDE YMCA
“The Argentine Young Men’s Christian Association / YMCA is celebrating the 167th Anniversary of our institution born in London in 1844. In this world of unrest and contradiction YMCA’s Mission still shines. This Mission rests on the promotion of these life’s core values: love, justice, peace and solidarity. We feel united to the YMCAs around the world, just because we share a common mission. We pray to the God of Hope to continue blessing YMCA’s work. In that sense, we assume the commitment we are responsible for as part of the Young Men’s Christian Association / YMCA.

On May 28, in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral, an event, presided over by the local Archbishop and President of the Argentine Episcopal Conference, Cardinal Jorge M. Bergoglio, was held to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Catholic Action Argentina, Institution to which YMCA is closely related.

Among them, the Head of the Government of the City of Buenos Aries, candidates to the presidency of the Republic, the Governor of the Province of Buenos Aires, journalists, religious leaders, ministers and first-level intellectuals. This Congress, a classic in Argentina, maintains unchanged its broad and plural nature.

- ARGENTINA’s YMCA AND PLAN NAGUA (CANADA)
Now, ten young Canadians of the province of Quebec, who belong to the Plan Nagua, are taking part of an exchange with the Argentine YMCA that will take 75 days. These youngsters are accommodated in family homes of members of the Entre Ríos quarters of Argentina’s YMCA and cooperate in a shantytown. Preparing this programme took two years and different implementation stages, among them the presence of a young volunteer from YMCA of Argentina, of the province of Entre Ríos, who stayed over two months in Quebec. This is an innovative and challenging experience.
- JOURNEY FOR JUSTICE 2011
Like in previous years, in 2011 Argentina’s YMCA has positively answered to the invitation of the Palestinian YMCA. Luis M. Alman Bornes, a young member of the Board of Directors, shall represent the Argentine YMCA in the “Journey for Justice” programme at the end of July and beginning of August. This participation confirms the strong support of the local YMCA to the efforts of the Palestinian YMCA in favour of justice and peace.
- YOUTH PEACE NETWORK 2011
Once again, Argentina’s YMCA is taking part in this excellent programme of the YMCA of Vancouver, Canada. From early June and for three months, the local YMCA is being represented by María E. Daiqui, a Young leader. We are pleased to thank the deference and generosity of the Vancouver’s YMCA.
- SEMINAR ON EDUCATION FOR PEACE IN EUROPE
The young leader Belén Otero shall represent Argentina's YMCA in the seminar on “Education for Peace" of 2011 organized by Spain's YMCA and the European Alliance of YMCAs to be held in Prague.
