ARIEL FOUNDATION ATTENDS 2009 SYMPOSIUM ON ACHIEVING US RATIFICATION OF THE UN CONVENTION FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD  Hundreds of attendees, along with AFI representative Priscilla Russell of Panama, came from around the world and converged on Georgetown Law School in Washington DC to discuss and exchange ideas on United States ratifications of the UN Convention for the Rights of the Child. At the present time, only two countries in the world have refused to sign the convention -- the US and Somalia. The plight of two international children, Ariana-Leilani of Germany, and Madison Rusell of Panama, were highlighted to demontrate the urgency of the need for the US to join the rest of the world in honoring children's international rights, including Germany and Panama. Only through those non-US countries can the rights of these international children and others like them be protected because of the US's self-exclusion from this world community. Priscilla Russell of Panama, consultant/advisor to the Ariel Foundation International, attended this international convention.

Colombia’s President Alvaro Uribe National Press Club September 19 2008
With Dr. Ariel King of AFI present, Colombian President Alvaro Uribe discussed his country’s recent economic progress and security improvements on Friday, Sept. 19, 2008. Álvaro Uribe has made Colombia a better place, and that while Colombia still faces challenges, there has been marked improvement as a result of his leadership. Uribe was elected in 2002. Prior to serving as Colombia’s president, he was general secretary of the labor ministry under President Alfonso Lopez Michelsen and director of civil aeronautics under President Julio Cesar Turbay. He has also served as governor of Antioquia and mayor of Medellin. As pesident, most recently he has been credited with significantly improving Colombia’s security situation, overseeing the release of one of the FARC’s most high profile hostages: Ingrid Betancourt.

 Ariel Foundation volunteers and board members underwent intensive training for conducting bereavement programs for orphaned children. The program was developed by the Comfort Zone Camps, which have served thousands of orphaned children in the US, including many who lost one or more parents in the 9/11/2001 attacks. Their approach recognizes that most grieving children have not met another child who has experienced a significant death and breaks their isolation and lets them drink in the message, “I am not alone.” Taking what has been learned here, and customizing it for the various countries in Africa and elsewhere which have a large AIDs orphan population, AFI will implement a sponsored program for helping orphans who have lost one or more parents to AIDs in those countries.
