    Queridas amigas,
    Me alegra que hayan establecido contacto directo y que se vayan aclarando
    algunas dudas en el camino...
    Hoy tenemos una actividad de Amigos de la Tierra-Uppsala y aprovecharé para
    informar a l@s compañer@s.
    Para el vínculo con el FSM extendido, Pierre George ha aceptado brindarles
    el apoyo logístico necesario.
    Abrazos fraternales
