Dear friends,
In previous communications regarding the forthcoming World Youth and Students Festival scheduled to begin next month in Cuba we have repeatedly sought information on the role expected of the International Union of Students within the programme.
Further to that we have also remained hopeful of learning of you about the number of delegates we are entitled to send to send to the festival and the possibility of some financial assistance to help cover our travel costs.

As we approach the dates of the festival we would like to reiterate our commitment and support for the festival and to reassure you of our intended participation. The Executive Secretariat shall be represented by a four person delegation and we hope to count on your kind hospitality to ensure our boarding and lodging for a period of about two weeks. Whilst counting on the ability and willingness of some of our member unions to assist with funding our travel we also look forward to hearing from you about possible financial aid.

We are standing by to hear from you at your earliest convenience; to remember to communicate the final programme in your response.

In solidarity,
Zakaria Abdourahamane
Acting President
