It was decided that the resources of I.V.U. are not sufficient for any sustained campaign. Local contacts are necessary and it was decided that initial contacts within a continent should be made internally and specific aid sought from I.V.U. to develop the work when development seemed likely. 21\. Resources and Information on Vegetarianism in Africa It was decided that the problems were similar to those mentioned in the previous minute and that it would be better dealt with through communication between vegetarian groups in Africa. A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1018 ## Schema ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4300:members-council-evan-morkel&catid=208","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4300:members-council-evan-morkel&catid=208","name":"E.
