Actualizing contents and guid<br />
Martin Barth<br />
President<br />
For 10 days on the whole, the country directors<br />
of Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Thailand were<br />
our guests in Düsseldorf. They came together<br />
on the occasion of this year's Country<br />
Directors Meeting which took place from 25th<br />
September to 4th October in the Düsseldorf<br />
central office at Königsallee (King's Avenue).<br />

were to be filled in since our last meeting. Naturally this<br />
required a lot more of tuning work.<br />
After short lectures on the current work in our local offices<br />
and the specific problems in each country - which naturally<br />
affect our work a lot - we started to work on the most important<br />
topics of our agenda.<br />
The definition of the target group<br />
One could think of that the definition of the target group<br />
for our help is a quite simple thing. After all, we have a statute,<br />
which must contain an appropriate instruction regarding<br />
the denomination of our purpose. In practice however, it<br />
