"AREN stands for Amateur Radio Emergency Network. AREN is not an alternative to any existing Emergency Service but, rather, a reserve communications resource included in Major Emergency Plans that the served agencies may call on as required. In an Emergency AREN shall come into operation if requested to do so by an incident Controller of Operations or a Senior Official of a designated Emergency Service. It shall function under such control in order to meet the radio communications needs of that service for the required duration. Situations when AREN can be of Assistance."

REVA [Romania Education Vision Action ] is a small charity on the Isle of Wight, set up in memory of a dear friend Eva Benke who tragically died in 1997. Eva, a Hungarian, was an English teacher who lived in the town of Targu Mures. In 1991 she help organise a visit to the town by a group of teachers from the Isle-of-Wight. An English doctor, who had visited the town and the wife of the pastor of the local Reformed church, arranged the visit. The teachers stayed for three weeks teaching conversation English to groups of local people. The visit was a great success and continued each summer for a number of years.
