Many Latin American economies showed great resilience and, with the exception of the Caribbean, rebounded from the global recession according to a new study by Lodging Econometrics.
 

Governmental and political reforms enacted after earlier financial collapses created improved economic and financial management systems, stronger and better-regulated banks, and together with booming export-based economies, served to minimize the impact of the global economic crisis. Combined with positive gains in lodging demand and operating results and the growing availability of credit over the past year, major improvements in developer and investor confidence have occurred. These are the important prerequisites that have sparked the new lodging real estate cycle currently underway in much of Latin America.

The key metric confirming the onset of the new cycle is New Project Announcements into the Pipeline. Notable gains have been made in most regions. NPAs for Q1-Q3 2010 were up everywhere compared to the same period in 2009, except for the Caribbean. With the fifth largest Pipeline in the world, Brazil is up an astounding 87 percent year-over- year, while the remainder of South America is up 28 percent. As a region, South America has the highest NPAs since Q1 2008. Mexico, which has the seventh largest Pipeline worldwide, is ahead by an impressive 39 percent.

For those projects already in the Pipeline that migrated forward, Construction Starts increased YOY by 24 percent in Brazil and 44 percent in the other South American countries. In the months ahead, Construction Starts are certain to trend upward strongly as the recent increases in NPAs migrate forward towards construction. Already, the number of projects Sched- uled to Start Construction in the Next 12 Months has advanced to levels not seen since late 2008.

For over thirty years, Save the Children México has worked with boys and girls affected by major disasters throughout the country by implementing its emergency-response program when needed. Through this program, emergency workers have accompanied the children and their families through a process of emotional healing, helping them overcome the distress caused by the crisis. Save the Children's interventions have not been limited exclusively to emotional accompaniment, but have also included ensuring that the basic needs of disaster-affected children and families are met with dignity as well as promoting actions to make sure they are reincorporated into the formal education system as soon as possible. Additionally, Save the Children México has carried out communtiy-support actions, rebuilding and repairing damaged buildings and infrastructure as part of the recuperation phase in its Emergency Response Program.

Save the Children Mexico, since its beginnings in 1973, has been an active member of the International Save the Children Alliance, an organization represented in more than 120 countries.  Save the Children has worked to benefit children since 1919 and is the largest organism in the world providing direct service programs to children. 

Among Save the Children’s important accomplishments is the promotion, and application of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child in its programs. Save the Children Mexico has been at the forefront in the diffusion and promotion of the United Nations International Convention on the Rights of the Child.
    

Save the Children Mexico has programs directly serving children, currently operating in the states of Sonora, Jalisco, Sinaloa, Querétaro, Quintana Roo, Guanajuato, Chiapas, Yucatán, Oaxaca, Tabasco, Baja California, Veracruz, Puebla, Mexico state, and Mexico City.  The objective of these programs is to create positive and lasting changes in the quality of life of marginalized families through the active participation of boys, girls and adolescents in their own educational formation.
  

In our educational programs Save the Children Mexico implements a non-traditional educational model (homework-help, creative pedagogical, recreational, cultural and athletic activities) for boys, girls and adolescents of 4 to 18 years of age living in at-risk rural and urban communities.
     

There are other fronts in which we work, which consist in promoting the legal changes that the country requires in order to be in line with the International Convention on the Rights of the Child.  We also impact cultural transformation through alliances with corporations, the media and leaders of opinion.
