WE HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD
About this event: GLOBAL YOUTH FORUM ON DEVELOPMENT 2008
Related to country: Kenya


For many years young people have been sidelined in every aspect of development, we are branded over ambitious. I had a challenge when I was organising a confernce for young people from all over the globe this www.gyfod2008.org. Approaching many sponsors and NGO's I was really suprised by many who insisted that if we are to partner in organising the confernce then we have ot take the back seat while they take the front seat. This is because we are small they are big. To me I believe it was our idea as young people from the informal settlement how can we give it to someone else who is not even aware of how we came with the idea. Therefore im calling all young people its high time we fight this instructural inequality.Lets join hands and say "there is no excuse come 2015". One of my favourite country is bahrain, they have achieved 90%of the millenium goals within the 7 years why not our countries we still have 8 years even if we dont achieve 100% but 70% will be enough for a start past 2015. Therefore im asking fellow youths whats your stake.

LETS GET RID OF STRUCTURAL INEQUALITY
We all have a role to play, but most of all when we do it together we achieve great result. Just remember "when the spiders united they tied a lion". We can also win this campaign on MDG's

WE CAN DO IT
No problem Mr. Youth, the power lies within an individual, What one believes in, must undergo many shocks of adversity. To get marked doesn't come on a silver platter. If your obligations get subdued, many options lie in waste. Start strong, inspire many and dream the same dream. You will always find a way. You are not alone in the struggle, if we grant ourselves a good position remember...... we can push the world. I am looking for that position lets start where we can and the rest will flow. Local youth must be empowered first to understand their role in achieving the MDGs. Are we anywhere close to achieve this? Once you and I become cornerstones, no one can deflect our interests, the Agenda must be pushed....the strategy is the issue. WE CAN DO IT.
