The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today presented to the Interim Representative of Bolivia to the Organization, Aylin Oropeza, a donation of $20,000 for the victims of the floods in February in that South American country, sent through the Inter-American Emergency Aid Fund of the OAS (FONDEM) and to be delivered to victims in la Paz, Cochabamba, and El Beni.
“We present with great modesty this symbolic contribution that we hope will be of help,” Secretary General Insulza asserted. “We wish to continue to contribute in everything we can and we hope Bolivia will be able to overcome this difficult situation caused by this natural disaster,” he added. The head of the hemispheric Organization emphasized that at the OAS “we have assumed the moral obligation of contributing to our Member States when there are tragedies like those taking place with too much frequency in some of them.”
The Representative of Bolivia expressed her thanks on behalf of her government, “and on behalf of all the victims, for the solidarity expressed with this contribution, that is added to all those we have received from friendly governments, international organizations and Bolivian citizens.” “We perceive that solidarity is itself one of the most important values this century, which presents itself with a nature threatening to humanity,” she added.
The ceremony, held in the office of the Secretary General at Organization headquarters in Washington, DC also was attended by the OAS Assistant Secretary General, Ambassador Albert Ramdin, and the Chair of the Permanent Council and Permanent Representative of the United States to OAS, Carmen Lomellin.
