Just for readers to have an update... The World Social forum is taking place from the 20th to the 25th. The Global Young Greens is starting today and finishing on the 19th....
Global Young Greens Funding congress
I finally arrived to the M.F Hostel, where the youth camp is taking place.
I am sharing the tent with 2 South Korean girls and a German/Kenyan girl...
The Youth camp is very nice. I was in charge of registration...of the participants together with Hanna and Clare both from Tasmania, an Island on the South east coast of Australia
we registered participants from all around the world, mainly representatives from Africa and Asia, including Nigeria, Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Senegal, Benin, Sri Lanka, India, Philipines, Japan, Bangladesh Vietnam.. european representatives including France, Finland, Germany, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Portugal... there is only one representative from latin America for the moment, who is from Argentina...
I was so happy to meet some of the Kenyan women, belonging to the Green Belt movement, Prof Wagari Maathai( Nobel Peace Price) is the founder of that movement...
It seems that one of the participants from Mali is still looking for the clearance of his passport, really immigration procedures here can be a nightmare...
Yesterday myself and other people in charge of organisation wen to USI, University in Nairobi where the global green congress is taking place. I am currently down there...
It is amazing to realise that some many australians are helping to make the Global young greens possible...
until the next one... greetings from Kenya
I have to go back to continue helping...
