An information meeting of environment ministers from 42 countries will be held in Warsaw in October to work our draft position for the conference in Poznan.
Nowicki recalled that the conference in Poland is to prepare a global deal on actions for environment protection for 2009.
The minister stressed that UN experts assess that Poznan will host 8-10 thousand delegates at the conference that will last two weeks from December 1.

Father Jan Bereza is a benedictine, a member of The Polish Episcopate Comittee responsible for the dialog with unchristian religions and a good old friend. Last Monday he paid us a short visit and shared his opinion about the hostel renovation result (so far) with us. He liked it :) There is more - he promised to bless Hostel8 at the official opening.
In two weeks from now we are invited to revisit Father Jan Bereza in the Lubiń Closter. Looking forward to it :)
