T IBullMetin de lO'AssocUiationN Solidarité et Fraternité pour les enfants d'HAÏTI [email protected] Page 2 Tout devient tellement meilleur... quand on partage ! EDITORIAL DU PRÉSIDENT Daniel GUILLET Bonjour à tous, La vie de notre Association est étroitement liée aux actualités de la France et surtout d’Haïti. L’équilibre politique qui se dégrade de plus en plus arrive à un point ou cela bloque le pays. Les problème sanitaires et l’insécurité constante surtout dans les grandes villes perturbent sérieusement le quotidien des haïtiens. Pour Solidarité et Fraternité cela se traduit par un dysfonctionnement de notre groupe scolaire avec des absences d’enseignants ne pouvant venir au travail régulièrement et certains jours où l’école ferme ses portes. La problématique de la SOMMAIRE sécurité pénalise encore plus les procédures d’adoption, la France gèle les adoptions par décret renouvelé tous les trois mois. Les employés de l’Autorité Centrale Haïtienne ne peuvent pas venir travailler pour des raisons de sécurité et donc les dossiers ne sont pas traités, les grèves bloquent les démarches juridiques. Aucun avion ne dessert Haïti en provenance de la France. Les prix flambent et surtout la gourde, la monnaie locale s’effondre, conséquence directe pour notre Association, le prix des livres scolaires augmente cela vient s’additionner à la non ÉDITORIAL 2 reconduction de l’aide de l’état haïtien pour l’achat des ouvrages scolaires. En conséquence tous ces évènements fragilisent notre trésorerie et nous rend dans l’impossibilité de faire les travaux d’entretien de notre Fondation de Tabarre.

  • 75 a MANERA DE PROLOGO La Escuela Nacional De Entrenadores
    75 A MANERA DE PROLOGO La Escuela Nacional de Entrenadores, por decisión de su Director, envió al Campeonato del Mundo de Fútbol celebrado en Alemania del 13 de junio al 7 de julio de 1.974, a cuatro de sus miembros (Don Eduardo Toba, Don Miguel Munoz, Don José Santamaría y Don Eusebio Martín), con el fin de presenciar dicha competición y emitir el oportuno informe que sería trasladado posteriormente a las Escuelas regionales y a los propios Entrenadores. Mi misión, que en principio era de coordinador, su­ frió una alteración como consecuencia de la renuncia de Don José Iglesias (otro de los designados) al que su Club negó el oportuno permiso. Es por ello que, manteniendo mi punto de residencia en Frankfurt, tuve que realizar constantes desplazamientos para poder cumplir esta misión y parte de la que en principio le corres­ pondía al Sr. Iglesias. Los desplazamientos me llevaron a Berlín, Dussel­ dorf, Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund, Stuttgart y Munich donde, combinan­ do los horarios de trenes, pude presenciar un total de 14 parti­ dos en directo, de los que cuatro lo fueron en dos días, a dos par­ tidos por día. Dichos partidos fueron los siguientes: 14.6 ALEMANIA F. - CHILE 13.6 BRASIL - YUGOSLAVIA 15.6 POLONIA - ARGENTINA 18.6 ESCOCIA - BRASIL 19.6 HOLANDA - SUECIA 22.6 ESCOCIA - YUGOSLAVIA 23.6 POLONIA - ITALIA 26.6 HOLANDA - ARGENTINA 26.6 YUGOSLAVIA - ALEMANIA F. 30.6 ALEMANIA D. - HOLANDA 30.6 ALEMANIA F. - SUECIA 3.7 POLONIA - ALEMANIA F. 6.7 BRASIL - POLONIA 7.7 HOLANDA - ALEMANIA F.

US Has Produced its First in New Line of Updated 475-Kiloton Thermonuclear Warheads by Morgan Artvukhina The United States is expected to spend more than $1.2 trillion over the next three decades updating its nuclear arsenal, nearly all of which is more than 30 years old, dating back to the Cold War. However, some of the more recent and pricey additions have already been cut from the budget, like a sea-launched cruise missile. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a semi-autonomous agency of the US Department of Energy, announced on Tuesday that the first W88 Alt 370 had been completed at the Pantex Plant, a site in northern Texas where most of the US’ nuclear weapons are assembled. While the Pentagon is responsible for deciding how its nuclear weapons will be designed, the NNSA is responsible for actually assembling them. “This accomplishment is the culmination of over a decade of work,” Acting NNSA Administrator Charles Verdon said in the news release. “The W88 Alt 370 is a crucial part of Nation’s strategy for the sea-based leg of the nuclear triad, and a testament to the Enterprise’s ability to execute major modernization programs.
