2. End of donations campaign for the WSF debts
Solidarity, fellowship and commitment of all of those who took part in the donations campaign for the WSF 2005 have created conditions for collecting an amount of R$ 76.000,00. Moreover, with the applied efforts to the agencies of international cooperation and other entities partners of WSF it has been collected resources that have contributed to diminish the original debt from R$2.829.835,47 in 06/30/2005 to R$563.030,00 in 05/31/2006.
We would like to thank the work of people, entities, movements and networks that fight together towards the possibility of a truly fair and human world. Efforts are still being applied to agencies in order to overcome the problem.
