Hi everyone

This is a short message for three purposes:

1. Firstly, we apologise for the delay on the publication and distribution of our Sept 06 newsletter.

We hope to have it done and distributed to you all soon.

Note that there may be further delays in adding it to the website.


2. We want your contributions for our October newsletter.

The theme for the October newsletter is Poverty Eradication.

October 17 is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. It has been said that this is the first generation that can, if it wants "Make Poverty History". What do you think? What are you doing to eradicate poverty? What are your thoughts on the persistance of poverty and its causes? Let us know so we can share it with the world!

Also, if you participate in and run events for the 'Stand Up Against Poverty' activities, we'd love to hear from you about them!

See http://www.standagainstpoverty.org for full details and how to get involved.

Contributions for the Oct newsletter should be sent to newsletter@iypf.org by 20th October (24th at the latest!).


3. Finally, its the IYPF's 5th birthday on 4th October 2006!!! We'll be putting some new things on the website and publishing some exciting content in celebration. Check out our website from 5th October for more! www.iypf.org
