Just got my passport, and I'm filling out the Marazul forms now.
Also sent a copy of my paper ("I Like All the Songs..." Vygotskian Research
in a Bilingual Classroom) along with a partial Spanish translation to Dra
Farinas Leon. Since it's past the Sept 30 deadline, I offered to give an
informal presentation, along with some audio casette and video material, if
they wanted.
Please send the fax on the ed conf. to me at the Language and Literacy
office at UC Berkeley. Please put my name on the first page (Pete
Farruggio):

>Hello all; This is an update on the Interamerican Conference on Activity
>Theory (theme: VygotskyUs legacy of the historical-cultural approach)
>taking place in Havana, Cuba, Jan. 16-18, 1996 (if you have not received
>information about this conference, please let me know). I spoke yesterday
>with Gloria Farinas, one of the conference organizers, who is lecturing in
>Mexico this month. Good news: She informed me that the plans for the
>conference are going well; she stated that they have responded to every
>proposal, but recognizing the difficulties in communications with the US,
>she asked me to inform her of anyone who submitted a proposal but has
>not heard from them. If that is the case, please let me know right away so
>I can call her with your name; or, if you have any other questions about the
>conference that she could answer, also let me know through this medium.
>
>I also want to remind you that there will be an education conference
>immediately following (Jan 19-20), if interested: please send me your fax
>number so I can forward the information.
>
>For any US citizens attending the conference, I suggest that you contact
>Marazul Tours (Robert Guild: 1-800-223-5334) to secure lodging, visa,
>etc.; for those of you interested in traveling via Mexico, they also have
>reasonable rates available, or make your own arrangements.
