Hello my great African friends! After Addis Conference, and with sound recomendations the delegates were able to come up with; I can feel everyone is energised, motivated, re-collected and very much looking forward March when our Steering committee heads to present the document in Copenhagen. And as you can witness, events in the continent are un-folding dangerously at a very dangerous rate. I strongly have a feeling that even though minus yet some funding consortioum towards brilliant recomendations, we all came from different walks of Life and let's intergrate the efforts we already generated into our organisational programs. There is need for us to slot in, and and ignite the spirit of ctivisim and change we talked about. To be specific, lets us all realise that in Africa, what use to be matters of concerns are now matters of emergencies, and what use to be matters of emergencies are now matters of crisis. So let's get started, draw committments for ourselves and facilitate our actions from within our existing system as we wait for the Bigger and Better ones to come. Let's start now, not wait for after March 2003!!!! Victor Ochen African Youth Initiative Network - Uganda www.ayinet.or.ug
