Professor Pablo Canziani, an Argentinean physicist, who was part of the research team that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore, spoke to 60 people from 41 countries gathered for a pre-Servas General Assembly event in Buenos Aires.

Gary Sealey, President of Servas International, introduced Professor Canziani to the gathering. Servas is now 60-years old. It was the first and pioneering peace organization to work through promoting contacts, understanding and exchanges between peoples in all countries in the world. Servas now has national groups in 100 countries and around 15,000 members worldwide. Servas has included a concern for the environment as one of its platforms. Read more.

I would like to thank and appreciate all the Members of this organization for all their combined support and work, as it would have not been possible, alone for any person to take Servas where it stands now. Pabalo, Cintia, Magiari, Ann and other youth officers and volunteers I heard a lot about you from my fellow Servas Pakistan members and I am very hopeful to create a peaceful, pleasant, memorable and a long lasting relation with you by joining hands and working together.

As a Youth Contact Person I would want to spread awareness about the misconceptions regarding to my land, people and religion, and bring forth love instead of hatred, peace instead of war. In order to accomplish this I will need your continuous support and co-operation, and I will try my level best to attend and become a volunteer in all events, where I am required. I will give my utmost efforts to help and support each other. I have so many things in my mind that I want to share with all of you but I lack words.

Berlin Wall

I first wanted to watch the live broadcast of the celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the FAll of the Berlin Wall in front of the Brandenburg Gate, this time a symbolic wall of 1,000 big dominoes made by young people and artists was going down!

9 November 1989 has been so important for Berlin, for Germany, for Europe and the whole world, 20 years of freedom and of the breaking down of barriers....

(Pictures taken from tv screen…not the best quality….just to give an impression, Brandenburger Gate, wall of dominoes, fall of the wall)
