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.
