2009 Events
During the first semester of this year (2009), UAF has had two important fund raising events that were attended by a big number of members and friends of our institution.
The first one was a dissertation of Mr. Luis M. Schwarz on a very interesting topic related to the importance of knowing our mental powers to succeed in life as well as to get acquainted to new techniques to improve our lives.
Some of the persons volunteered to prove the points in discussion what made the meeting even more interesting.
Mr. Schwarz is a member of the National Guild of Hipnosis in this country; a member of the American Board of Hypnotherapists; a member of the International Hipnosis Association in this country . He holds the degree of Program master in neuro-linguistic and clinical hypnosis(Bennett Stellar University, Washington, USA)
The dissertation took place in the residence of the Ambassador of Uruguay, Mr. Carlos Gianelli. His wife, Mónica was the kindest hostess, as usual.

The second event took place at the home of our friends Anamaría Garassini and JerryBarnla in their residence in Great Falls, Virginia. It was a lovely night and everybody enjoyed the good food, contributed to the silent auction and listened to the music by José Curbelo and his accordion accompanied by the guitars of Rey Ortiz and Pedro Baez. See photos below.
Thank you all so much for contributing to the project of electrification of the rural schools in Uruguay . According to our plans we have finished 15 more schools. But remember that this is a huge project that needs the constant support of members and friends of UAF.. We know that the Uruguayan children are in your hearts.
The Two Last Events
In the second semester we held two successful events with the support of Uruguayans and friends of Uruguay.
In August we celebrated our Independence day with a joyful picnic. The good food and company was accompanied by the music of Candombe for Ever that as usual brought its lively music to this meeting. Thank you so much to the many people that attended this event.
In October we had the annual event at the residence of our Ambassador: Mr. Carlos A. Gianelli and his wife Mónica: an Uruguayan dinner. It was a great night. The music was provided by José Curbelo and his accordion accompanied by two Paraguayans guitarists.
As always everybody enjoyed the kind reception of Mrs. Gianelli that makes things so easy.
Thank you so much to her and to all the friends than attended helping us to raise money for the project of electrification of rural schools in Uruguay.

Big News Concerning our Electrification Project!!
The Foundation is very excited to announce that we have finished work providing electricity to rural schools in the
Department of Soriano. Each of the four schools located in the southwest region of the country were fitted with our
solar power solution. The schools, number 69, 80, 85, and 94, received new equipment to cover the basic necessities
of every day life. This effort represents another critical step in our five (5) year plan to provide electricity to the
rural schools of Uruguay by installing solar panels and complementary hardware.
We have surpassed many hurdles to reach this point in our efforts. We have navigated government requirements to comply
with all necessary regulations and acquired all the necessary permits. In addition, a site evaluation must be completed before
any work commences. This effort required several trips to each school to evaluate the nature of the situation and the existing
state of power equipment. While this process has taken time and money we are now ready to send technicians to the schools to
complete the equipment installation.
Please see below pictures of the schools in Soriano.
