Thanks a lot for your input and tireless efforts as past HIC Chairperson.
Knowing you from way back in the 1980s as an active and loyal HIC partner, I am quite sure we can count on your continued support now that Lorena has taken over the Chair.

Dear HIC Secretariat,
Congratulation to Lorena Zárate who has been elected as HIC new President.
We do hope to have opportunity to work together very closely in future.
There are so much work to be done for the poor who needs basic housing rights and to make better city development by the active involvement of communities and civil society. However there is a great need for a much broader and proactive and more creative process by a more active HIC to be able to make change in our world today. So it is now the turn of woman to make this change.
Congratulation!!!!

Dear Members of the Electoral Committee,
Thank you for informing me about the election of Lorena Zárate as Chairwoman (President) of HIC.
I am glad that the laborious and time consuming election process has resulted in electing a woman in the chair, which if I am not mistaken is the first time ever in HIC’s history.
This together with other challenges ahead will be a heavy responsibility and require the support of all of us.
After quite some effort has gone into this democratic election process, the HIC network under her guidance is now ready to face the many challenges of guiding and directing the Council’s policies and programmes.
I wish you all every success and energy in achieving HIC’s goals in collaboration with likeminded partner and organisations.
With best regards
Peter Slits
HIC Representative in the Netherlands

Dear Lorena,
Based on the message from the Electoral Committee the other day, I want to congratulate you on being elected as Chairwoman of HIC.
And, if I am not wrong, this is the first time HIC has a woman in the Chair, which adds to your merit as well as the responsibility of such a position.
It will not be an easy task to guide and direct the HIC network in times of globalization with the limited means you have on board.
I trust that with the support and dedication of the Secretariat on the one hand and the regional and thematic networks on the other, you will be able to contribute to improving housing and living conditions of those that need it most.
I wish you all the support and energy you need in your new role and hope you will find motivation and satisfaction in HIC’s operations and achievements.
I will follow developments at a distance and look forward to an opportunity to meet you in person.
With best regards
Peter Slits

Querida Lorena:
Felicidades, no será fácil pero sabemos que pondrás todas tus energías, militancia y compromiso para fortalecer a nuestra coalición “como una red global de acción local” que nutre y se nutre de todos los esfuerzos , logros , desafíos , esperanzas de sus miembros , de su estructura regional y temática. Sin embargo, el logro de tu gestión depende del liderazgo democrático, equilibrado, equitativo e incluyente que seas capaz de imprimir para despertar a los/as que están aun incrédulos por tu juventud y por ser mujer, que pueden marcar algunas diferencias ventajosas a tu gestión.
Aprovecho para agradecer al Comité Electoral por su trabajo, en especial a Ramiro, por haber llevado un proceso exitoso, a Davinder por su gestión como presidente , esperando que al igual de toda la membrecía pueda contribuir a una nueva fase del HIC , teniéndote de presidenta.
Manos a la obra, te acompañaremos en la lucha y la esperanza.

Mieux vaut tard que jamais. Je m’excuse beaucoup de retard dans les correspondances. Depuis un certain j’étais en dehors de Bamako dans le cadre des activités de formations et sensibilisation des populations dans les cercles de Tombouctou et dans la ville de Gaoè ou je n’avais pas accès au net.
Je joins ma voix à celles des autres pour féliciter Lorena de sa brillante élection au poste de la presidence de la HIC. Je lui souhaite courage. Que dieu lui donne la santé pour pouvoir mener les activités.
Par ailleurs, je remercie et félicite le comité çelectoral pour l’execution de cette tâche.
