A few impressions from the DA Charity Ball "The Congress Dances again" for the benefit of "Rwanga Foundation".

I am happy to announce that Rwanga Foundation was chosen as the 2014-2015 Diplomatic Academy of Vienna charity of choice. Rwanga works in the Kurdistan Region helping the most vulnerable communities through programs in 8 different sectors, with a specific focus on youth empowerment through education and creating a culture of volunteerism in the Kurdistan Region. The focus at the moment is helping the refugees in the Kurdistan Region. Over 1.5 million refugees and IDPs currently live in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, most of them children. If you would like to find out more about Rwanga and the work that they do please visit their website at http://rwanga.org/.

Throughout this academic year, students of the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna will work toward raising funds for Rwanga, specifically through the annual DA Charity Ball to be held on 24 January 2015 and the DASI Conference to be held on 06 March 2015. So SAVE THE DATES!

If you would like to participate as a sponsor at either the DA Charity Ball or the DASI Conference, or should you be interested in making a private financial contribution, please do not hesitate to contact either myself or my colleague Ms. Gjertrude Fosdal of the DASI Conference Committee, or alternatively my colleagues of the DA Charity Ball Committee Ms. Maddalina Comincini or Ms.Finja Draxler.
We hope to see you at both events.

On behalf of RWANGA, thank you all and thank you DASI

At the jubilees and inauguration of the academic year 2014-15 of the DA at the Festsaal of the Vienna Rathaus on October 2nd, 2014, our DASI President Virginia Ottolina gave a speech for and to the DA students. She caught the attention not only of Ambassador Winkler and the Brazilian Minister of Defense, but also of the Austrian Foreign Minister, who even got up to congratulate her on her speech. It was a great evening seeing so many DA alumni, welcoming the first years and having an evening of excitement and fun. We are looking forward to many more events of this kind. Your DASI-4

if you remember that I took a photo of you and it's not here (read: it's not diplomatic :P), then you can ask me to send it by pm
