Ramon Rawache – General Coordinator (President)

Maria das Graças – Communication Coordinator (VPI)

Roberto Maranhão – Finances Coordinator (Treasurer)

Phillipe Abreu Reis – External Relations Coordinator (VPE, President for IFMSA)



Marina Jacob Chaer – National Coordinator of Exchanges (NEO/NORE)

Ísis Altgott – SE 1 Regional Coordinator

Ingrid Antunes – SE 1 Regional Coordinator

Lucas Knupp – SE 1 Regional Coordinator

Livia Nery – SE 1 Regional Coordinator



Until March 31st, we must elect the other 5 Regional Coordinators, for North, NE 1, SE 2, South 1 and Centre-West.



Written in Red, are the ones that you will probably get in touch.



Moreover, we still want to contribute to IFMSA and its projects and goals, assuring that all EB members will be always able to help anyone of you.



To contact us, use the following mails:

Treasurer, VPI and President: denem@denem. org.br

NMO President for IFMSA: crex@denem.org. br

NEO/NORE: cev@denem.org. br OR denem_ifmsa@ yahoo.com

NOME: brufunchal@hotmail. com

NPO: eralfs@hotmail. com OR caco_cesar@yahoo. com.br



Only Phillipe Abreu Reis and Marina Jacob Chaer will represent DENEM at Tunisia MM 09. Unfortunately, we could not afford for more than 2 students there, so one is going to President Sessions, and the other will have to go to SCOPE sessions, and also SCORE sessions. Other delegates registered to the GA, are NOT DENEM's EB, so cannot say on the behalf of DENEM.



In August, for the AM 09, we will sure send more delegates.



Best Regards,



Phillipe G T de Abreu Reis



NMO President for IFMSA 2009

NEO/NORE 2008

Your donation for Gaza

Dear friends,

During the past days, a humanitarian crisis has evolved in Gaza with hundreds of thousands of civilian people affected and needing urgent attention and help. Since a large number of people have expressed their will to help, we in the Team of Officials (TO) have been discussing the easiest and best methods of support to make sure that the help gets to the innocents suffering as quickly and as efficiently as possible. In the name of the TO, Flo, Thaty and Melhim have decided to reopen the IFMSA Health and Humanitarian Crisis Fund. So, here is our plan and what to do if you want to help:

1) Organize local fundraising events,

2) Transfer the money to the IFMSA's account under the name "IFMSA HCCF",

3) Send emails to the lists of your fundraising efforts in order to motivate others.

4) The IFMSA will collect the money and make transfers every 3 weeks to UNRWA. Thus, our first deadline is February 3rd, 2009, GMT 23h59.

5) Melhim and Silva will meet with the Officials in the UNRWA Offices in Geneva next week to further discuss ways of collaboration.

As the Directors on SCORP & SCOPH and the IFMSA President, we hope that this is just the first time this IFMSA Fund will be activated to help in alarming conflicts such as the one going on in Gaza. We are here to activate this Fund whenever you, as the IFMSA members, feel like helping people who are in need.

There are many other alarming conflicts and situations around the world which don't receive as much attention by the media as this one. This doesn't diminish nor expand all the suffering in Gaza, so we're determined to help. We hope that this Fund will give us the opportunity to decide as IFMSA where we put our attention to and where we help!

Let this be just the first of a sequence of other joint 'green & orange' initiatives.

Hugs and kisses,

On behalf of the IFMSA Team of Officials,


From Thaty & Flo & Melhim.
