Upon the 4th of September 2008 the AGM of ANERELA+ was held in Lusaka, Zambia. This AGM was special as it celebrated both  the 5th anniversary of the launch  of ANERELA+ but also celebrated the successful launch in Mexico City of its international expansion INERELA+.  Indeed, such was the level of excitement surrounding this new international network that it was announced that  ANERELA+ and INERELA+, after a period of informed  consultation, shall become a single entity.

This move represents a positive step  in forwarding the network,   as it recognises the extraordinary growth that ANERELA+ has achieved in Africa and demonstrates the networks ambition to spread its message of hope globally.
