editorial Dear IPSF’ers, This is a very special edition of the IPSF Newsletter. Actually, this is the #100 issue but only after this news publication changed name from “News Bulletin” to a more accurate “Newsletter”. It would be quite impossible to know how many News Bulletins there were, since their issues were numbered by year (ex. 1974 - issue 1 and 2 ; 1975 - issue 1 , 2 and 3...).

Alexandra Marques IPSF Chairperson of Media and Publications 2012-2013

The “IPSF News Bulletin” has come a long way from what it is now...A few decades ago, the technology wasn’t as it is now and making publications like these was not as easy. The copies had to be sent by mail to the members! Can you imagine the money and effort that took?

The cover of this #100 newsletter is actually the original cover of a IPSF News Bulletin from the late 1980’s! Although this issue’s theme is IPSF Events, I decided to add some history to these pages, and throughout this Newsletter you’ll see some interesting parts old IPSF publications that I found in the IPSF office in The Hague, the Netherlands. I tried to use materials mostly related to the IPSF events, but I din’t restrict myself to that due to the sheer fact that I found a lot of interesting things that I would like to share with you!

Our events play a huge role in this federation - attending one is usually the biggest step into getting really involved with IPSF - which is why this was the theme chosen for such a special edition! Attending an IPSF event is how you get the best overview of what we do, it’s the best way to know everyone who makes part of this world, and it’s where everyone catches this virus called IPSF... It’s trully an airborne disease and impossible to treat!

Side effects may include sudden urge to change the world, the pharmacy education and profession, exponential increase in friendships, a grow in couches where you can sleep all around the world, and a huge sense of accomplishment.

I hope you enjoy this Newsletter #100!

by Ms. Merlijn van Leent and Mr. Geert van der Werf

Are you already looking forward to the 59th IPSF World Congress this summer? We are sure it’s going to be awesome, because this year the congress takes place in the Netherlands!

Since the summer of 2011 we are responsible for the social part of this congress. We have already visited several locations and are working hard to organise the most spectacular parties you will never forget.

During the social part of the congress you can integrate with other international students whereby your knowledge and understanding of cultural differences will increase. There is a great variety in the evening programme: from having a nice chat to dancing the whole night long, every evening shall be a pleasure for you!

The 59th IPSF World Congress Utrecht, The Netherlands

The opening ceremony will be held in one of the oldest churches of Utrecht where you can meet the other participants. After the ceremony, you can listen to a beautiful act while conversing with each other and having a drink and appetizer. The other evenings will be highlighted by some amazing theme parties and of course the auction and international evening.

The intention of the international evening is to taste typical food and (alcoholic) drinks of other countries. The location is already fixed: now it depends only to your contribution how successful this evening will be!!

There will also be a typical ‘Dutch Day’ where you will learn something about the Dutch culture during several sportive activities. One hint, don’t wear your most handsome clothes because most of it is outdoor. One of the last days will be dedicated to the end of the Ramadan where we are going to celebrate the Eid. The congress ends with a closing gala dinner and afterwards you may dance and drink till the late hours at this spectacular evening!

We can’t wait to see you at the social activities this summer! Hope to CU in 2013!

Any questions/suggestions? Feel free to mail to events@ipsf2013.org.

The Netherlands The Netherlands is a small country with big people and big ideas. Dutch have won Nobel prizes for chemistry, physics, medicine, economics and peace and the world’s planners and architects flock here to learn about Dutch solutions for this crowded country. Next to that the Netherlands is best known for its tulips, windmills and clogs, as well as its low altitude and vulnerability to flooding.

Dutch (Nederlands) is the national language of the Netherlands. However, English is spoken by almost everyone. In addition, many Dutch people speak German and French.

The Netherlands has many historical cities and a historical background. Holland has the highest museum density in the world, with almost 1000 museums and as many as 300 castles in the country are open to the public. The landscape of Holland is dotted with windmills, which have become its hallmark. Potato is the prime ingredient for a number of traditional Dutch recipes. Holland is also known for its wide variety of cheese.

Did you know that…

• “the Netherlands” and “Holland” are used to describe the same country?

• almost every Dutch person has a bicycle and there are twice as many bikes as cars?

• the Netherlands was one of the European Union’s founding nations?

• the greatest distance from north to south is just 300 km and from west to east just 200 km.

• the Netherlands has approximately 480 inhabitants per square kilometer?

• the Dutch are the tallest people in the world?

Utrecht Utrecht is the lively, beating heart of Holland. It was built around the 15th century Dom tower, which you can see from any point in the city, so there is no way you can get lost in the attractive, car-free city centre. Utrecht boasts beautiful canals with extraordinary wharfs, cellars, housing, cafĂŠs and terraces by the water. Next to the the Dom tower, Utrecht has hundreds of other monuments that each contribute to the special atmosphere in this centuries-old university town.

PAGE 20

The city’s current expansion, more rapid than any in the city’s long history, combines physical expansion with innovation, and major economic opportunities. As a medieval treasure and a leading academic, technological and cultural centre, Utrecht is now a pro-active player in the international community.

Most citizens of Utrecht have a strong interest in other countries and many have their own roots in another culture. Their international knowledge, experience and contacts greatly enrich society in Utrecht.

welcome word Being a part of the IPSF EMRO family is an honor for me and my whole association. At the same time, a huge responsibility comes with that honor. During my four years of involvement in IPSF, I came to find how students made a difference even though it was so small in someone’s life. I learnt the real essence of volunteerism. I was really amazed by IPSF and IPSF EMRO’s spirits and I always believed in their capability of gathering students and make the pharmacy

Alexandria Egypt

Alexandria is Egypt’s second capital and one of the most beautiful cities in the world, extending about 32 km (20 mi) along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the north central part of the country. It connects Europe with the Arab world and that explains its unique culture. It is also the largest city lying directly on the Mediterranean coast. Alexandria is Egypt’s largest seaport, serving approximately 80% of Egypt’s imports and exports. Alexandria is considered as one of the most important tourists’ resorts in the world. It is the home to diverse cultures and historical eras. In Alexandria, you can enjoy watching one of the most beautiful sunsets, or you can just lie on the beach during the day. Alexandria is rich with monuments from all the historical eras Egypt has experienced. It is also the home to the famous Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Qaetbay Citadel and many Coptic, Greek, Islamic, Jewish, Paranoiac, and Roman monuments.

Tokyo Tower is popular among visitors and known as the symbol of Tokyo. The official name is, “Japan radio tower”. As a stand alone communication tower, it was the highest tower in Japan for about 51 and a half years, until it was taken over

by Tokyo Sky Tree on 2012. Nowadays, it is the second highest building in Japan.

Even after it became the second highest tower, it is still loved by the people as a symbol of Japan, and as a tower that stayed as a symbol of Tokyo after WWⅡ though the rapid economic growth until now.

Harajuku, Shibuya is a city known as one of the fashion centers of Japan especially for young people, and also where new food cultures are born. It is popular among foreigners which is also one of the reasons why Sibuya and Harajuku is where new cultures are born. Also, many events are held, for the young.

It will be an opportunity to present our knowledge and skills as well as other social events that will add joy and excitement of the symposium.

Samson Mtinangi I am very happy to be a member of the reception committee for the African pharmaceutical symposium which will be conducted in Tanzania. The symposium will help Tanzanian pharmaceutical students become aware of their profession as future pharmaceutical practitioners. Now it is our duty to make this symposium fantastic and memorable.

Wigilya Mikomangwa It’s a great honor for such a great event being held in my country.

This will bring us together and share our knowledge in different perspectives, as knowledge is power. Pushing isn’t as task a task is what we push, what we are searching for is knowledge from different angles of the world.
