My recommendation remains to be the necessity of submitting a formal
written proposal by all those interested in it. <br><br>

<dd><font face="Arial, Helvetica" color="#0000FF">Dear Dr.
Kendrick: I am very glad to hear from you and to
know about the coming planned WorldLeish3 conference in 2005. From
my side I think that it is really a very good idea to hold it in one of
the Latin America's countries that is suffering from Leishmania just my
throughts went to that Costa Rica as a location in that part of the world
may be a kind of difficulty, security and financially wise, for many
people in Europe and Middle East but for anyone who would like to
participate, starting by myself, if the two mentioned items will be
provided to me by that time, for sure I'll attend it. I really wish
if it can be held in Egypt because Sharm El Sheikh resort area in Sinai
can be a perfect place to hold such like this international conference
but it really needs a financial supplier that I cann't find here, so if
there is the latter available at your end and can hold here in Sharm, it
will be perfect but I am not quite sure how will this location sound
among the rest of the participants from the
world. I appreciate very much your kind contact
and hope to hear from you quite soon. Have a nice day. HanafiHanafi

<dd>Dear Colleagues, A decision is going to be made
about the venue for Worldleish 3 due to be held in 2005. The first
meeting was in Turkey and the second was in Crete. I, and others, think
the third must be held in Central or South America and not at another
centre around the Mediterranean. After all, the leishmaniases are a
public health problem in the Western hemisphere as well as southern
Europe, and it is beyond the means of young workers in the Americas to
attend meetings in Europe. Costa Rica is a possible
venue. Prof Zeledon and Dr Carlo Herrero are willing to organise the
meeting. Costa Rica meets with the enthusiastic support of WHO Geneva and
PAHO, Washington. If you think Costa Rica is a good
place for Worldleish 3, please find a moment to send an e-mail to Prof.
K.P. Chang
<a href="mailto:K.Chang@finchcms.edu">K.Chang@finchcms.edu</a> with
copies to Prof. M. Ziya Alkan
<a href="mailto:alkan@alpha.med.ege.edu.tr">alkan@alpha.med.ege.edu.tr</a>
and Prof. Yusuf Ozbel <a href="mailto:yozbel@med.ege.edu.tr">yozbel@med.ege.edu.tr</a> supporting this choice. I would also appreciate a copy. Of course, you may not agree with me. If you have any other ideas, you should let the organisers know. This will help them in making a decision. Warm regards, BoB
