15 de abril - un pequeño tropiezo

Hasta aquí todo marchaba muy bien, sin embargo hubo un pequeño problema y para no hacer el cuento largo, lo resumo en los mails enviados.

Dear members of the Eco Youth Summit Committee,

Yesterday I received this mail from Mr. Guillermo Lewis my City Coordinator, I tried to translated it .

______________________

Dear Nuria:

Bad news: Antonio declines to attend summit in Kobe.
I'll explain, lastweekend, in Mexico City, Antonio beat the national record of High Jump: 1.90 m.
Therefore: is the best hope of Tamaulipas to win gold in the National Competition , that will take place in our state: Tamaulipas in May 24th, 25th and 26th.
Carlos Hermosillo, head of sport in Mexico and our Governor had an emergency meeting to try to gain time for Toño, but there is no way to postpone his participation.
They have promised him to attend the games in Germany, in June and then a month of training in a camp in Poland for the month of July.
As you can see, in my opinion, was the best decision. In fact I congratulated him because, while he was still a child, faced a problem of adults with enormous solvency.
Now the problem is ours and I appeal to your good sense, since you were the one who gave us the invitation:
Can you discuss the matter with the authorities of the summit?, Would they accept a last-minute replacement?, would they accept that just Celia And Fernanda attend the summit?, or.?.
We hope your help in this difficult case. And will be paying special attention on wathever you say.

Yours

G. A. Lewis

Dear members of the Eco Youth Summit Committee,

Guillermo Hello,

How awful and how nice!, As you say it is a shame on one side and a joy in the other. I congratulate him and wish him the best in the competitions , is a national pride and those are the news should have more outreach.

As for the trip to Japan, I believe that the most desirable is that Celia will explain in detail (like this post) what has happened, if you have another candidate to make the trip, make the inquery o whether this is possible or not , I do not know if this is possible due to the advance the proceedings.

On the other hand, what I do not think is a problem the trip of Celia and Fernanda, since Celia has done absolutely everything that they have applied with great professionalism and what now is happening is an unexpected situation that only affects Toño. They, Celia and Fernanda remain the course of the proceedings and work.

As it is a scholarly work and an educational meeting, people tend to be very open and inclusive, I am sure they will respond to Celia in a kind and sympathetic way.

I send all of you a very strong hug and with the assurance that everything will be very well and we can do more in the IEARN work.

We remain in touch . And you know that if you need my help I will be glad to do it.

Núria

Dear members of the Eco Youth Summit Committee,

I have just sent you the two messages I received yesterday, explaining what is the reason Antonio decide no to

asist the summit. Unfortunately there are unexpected facts that we can not avoid.

Now we have to wait a response from you to know what we can do. In the event that it is possible to change the delegate ,

I would like to ask something, we have another candidate but is another girl she speaks good English and has been working in

collaborative projects on environment and ecology, because of the short time it would be impossible to prepare another boy.

Waiting to hear from you soon.

Sweet Regards.

Celia Arredondo.

Dear Ms. Celia Arredondo,

The executive committee of the YOUTH SUMMIT for Environment decided to ask Mexico delegation to recommend another candidate whose age is under 15 years old.
So, as you wrote, if the one you recommend is under age 15, we accept her as one of Mexican delegates.

Please send us her registration form and personal information as soon as possible.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Also, may we extend to Antonio our congratulations on his record and wish him the best in the competition.

Regards.

Secretariat YOUTH SUMMIT for Environment
