Hello Deirdre and all

Indeed, thanks for noticing that, in my message do please consider Latin
America and the Caribbean Region
And although the short list sent included only the main organizations
acting on the continent which I could find, I am trying to gather
references too of national, local and NGO organizations.
Please do forward the request and bear with me as I reply to each one of
you :)

And many thanks
