Ninth
CE Economics Course Graduates
Managua, Diciembre 19, 2001 --
The Instituto Henry George's ninth intensive "Comprender la
Economía" Political Economy class graduated 58
students in December. Almost all of class of 93
students who finished the courses signed the IHG's ongoing
petition requesting government officials to be made aware of the
Georgist remedy and to implement feasibility studies. Of the 21
"Superior" level graduates of the November course,
almost all expressed interest in attending the follow-up
volunteer participation meeting which will be held later in
January 2002. This lastest course was mainly taught by the
Director with the help of two graduates of the IHG's first
teacher training course.

IHG
Workshops in Managua Universities
Managua, December 20, 2001 -- During the months
of November and December, the IHG facilitated intensive workshops
at two private universities, Martin Luther King and Universidad
de Ciencias Comerciales. The reception was positive and the Dean
of the MLK school expressed interest in offering a course on
Georgist economics for credit through their university. Utilizing
the energy and expertise of visiting Georgist expert Jeffrey
Smith, the IHG also was able to make preliminary presentations to
other universities (UNAN RUCFA, UTN), business organizations
(COSEP, INPYME, CONAPI, FIDEG), leaders of the Sandinista and
Conservative parties.
Hildebrando Reyes (L), Jeffrey Smith
(R), and other IHG volunters presented the two university
workshops.
IHG
Seeks Independent Location in Managua
Managua, January 10, 2002 -- Because of lack of
funding the IHG has shelved its plan of purchasing a permanent
site and is seeking to rent a spacious facility located in a
central area of Managua. The desired facility will include ample
classroom, meeting, and office space as well as space for a
library/bookstory and lounge. Currently, the IHG is without an
adequate facility to house and support the multiple activities in
process. Most IHG projects are therefore on hold during the
traditional holiday months of late December to mid-January until
the new location is found and adequate funding established to
sign a lease.
