UNESCO proclaimed September 8 as international Literacy Day. This was enunciated in order to highlight the importance of literacy to individuals, communities and societies of the world. Since 1966, for the 48 years people all over the world were celebrating this as an annual event of great importance. Specially so in the developing countries, where for some countries it is still a "far cry" to make the child read and write.
The world's first nuclear weapons experiment was conducted on July 16, 1945 in New Mexico, when the United States tested its first nuclear bomb.

Dear Friends,
It is always with great interest that I receive from time to time AAPSO's important statements and communications such as recently AAPSO's tribute to Nelson Mandela which recalls the long time support given to ANC by AAPSO, followed by a strong statement on December 10th calling for actions to expand respect o for people 's self- determination and human rights, the world over and, more recently still, the annoucement of AAPSO initiative and commitment to promote the establisment of a MEDIA UNION of AFRICA, ASIA and LATINE AMERICA.
