IAVE Youth Office in Catalonia
The long-awaited IAVE World Youth Conference in Panama (International Association for Volunteer Effort) was the best occasion for the worldwide official presentation of the IAVE Youth Office in Catalonia, a project managed by Fundación Catalunya Voluntaria. We have used the Internet to learn more about Ronald Castillo Florián, the winner of our Books 2008 Competition. The author already has experience using the Internet to promote his work; in fact he has a blog which he updates daily.
The collection of poems by Ronald Franklin Castillo Florian, from Peru, has been the most downloaded book in the 2008 contest. As of 12 o'clock on 22 April there were more than two thousand clicks to download one of the 23 works posted on our web site. Once again, we would like to thank the authors for their generosity and trust and the readers for their faith in the project.
For the first time, human rights were analysed from the voices of their actors, a fact made possible by the meeting organised by ADANE and CEA in Barcelona.
After 8 days of the publication of the books on our website and now that we are less than 2 weeks away from the final of our Competition of the Day of the Book, we are giving you the first count of the download figures.
