The commemoration stamps, seen below, were presented in Israel,
during the XXth World Congress, as a unique tribute to the IPA motto
Servo per Amikeco.
IPA Section Israel say,
“Our Section developed this project which hopes
to contribute towards building a global chain of peace and a better
recognition of the IPA's dedication to it. The stamp marks an important
moment in IPA history - as it is the first official IPA stamp produced.”
The IPA stamp can be bought by contacting Section Israel:
The IPA stamp is already proving to be a very desirable item. If you
have it, keep it!
Section Mexico:
Recognised
After a 30 year struggle, IPA Section Mexico has become a legally
recognised entity under Mexican law, allowing them to promote and
organise activities openly, without contravening any law in Mexico.
Something that had been previously prohibited to them.
The President of Section Mexico, Dr. Lic. Humberto García-Gómez, is
delighted by the news as he has personally fought for this change.
Section Mexico has produced a website and begun a recruitment
strategy - as well as the forming of new Regions promotion of the IPA
throughout the whole country. Humberto is very optimistic along with
the newly elected NEC of IPA Mexico.
