alumni of KIM 
curriculum of tao - can you help amy's editorial peers? 
congratulations on your and intel contract to curate content for 300000 kenyan catholic children- I
am wondering how to rebrief the people in vatican university whom i first discussed yazmi with 2 years ago; now that jim  kim has been reconfirmed for another 5 years at the world bank, he needs to keep youth positive until trump gets that america cant be great without its youth trusting they can be great

would it be the right time for you to present to the youth leaders of this if i can fix such?
here is end of year note- this network has reformed since young african world bank summit 2 summers ago-
at the time i knew the chair of both the young africa and the original africa-wide network inside the world bank?   chris macrae economistafrica.com  Economistchina.net thanks china - from 3.5 billion sustainability students 




Forever Young! 
Investment in Africa is growing as the years go by. Recently Microsoft founder Bill Gates pledged to donate $5 billion towards African Development over the next 5 years. Gates who for long has been an ally for Africans is continuing the friendship into the future. The handsome donation will go towards investing in the youth throughout the continent. With such a young vibrant population, the world must take notice to a mobilized diaspora. 

Addis Ideas is doing its part in the mobilization. With our platform, we will provide members of the diaspora with an open forum to create, innovate, and cultivate their ideas.

gordon brown has assembled revolutionary leaders of education starting with jack ma, jim kim, ...
south africa seems to be represented by graca machel- is she likely to mention your work in the free university's million jobs map and mandela extranet or  will she stay focused on gender issues?



We are trying to ensure the conversation sustains way beyond  one UN presentation
-all ideas on how to do this most welcome

WE have some opportunity to brief gordon browns chief of staff in new york and my friends in glasgow have some opportunities to get to gordon and so on around the world wherever we are linked in by global youth platforms, coders, hubs hackathons etc

all the best chris macrae
