thank you for the wonderful youth africa society summit at world bank yesterday
my research for a book on job creating educators and millennial networkers could have some people connections you might like to explore- the most exciting locally is naila chowdury who partners with kenya's nanocredit in women empowerment and mobile jobs creating networks around the world- she was the first female director of grameen phone with muhammad yunus so she knows pretty well any mobile or satellite operator who wants to help
other connections i can help make if there is active millennial interest are with:
south africa's free entrepreneurial/empowerment curriculum university and schooling system ;
what knowledge the founder of brac would like to mooc at the world bank (open learning campus) on girls banking networks in africa ;
what ethiopian networks around dc want to contribute to understanding value chain nmap-s designed to sustain farmers families
the gandian school that has discovered how almost any illiterate adult can be helped to ead a newspaper within a month
I was at a meeting co-moderated by pape samb today; a keynote speaker was deon filmer; when I asked him to comment on beldina auma's offer to fully integrate youth africa society events coordination with all 2000 members of africa society in world bank- he deflected the question with youth always want to organise things
so i conclude that it might be useful - if you think so - if I could meet both of you and beldina auma to check what she does want
but more importantly tell me or any of us if there y ways we can help you at any future time
sincerely

The Economist first 125 years were mediated around these 2 values:
1 nations only develop as function of quality/access of their job creating education of each next generation
2 young professionals 25-40 particularly female need to be the most trusted decision-makers in a nation's social infrastructures and media
in 1972 father added a third crieria- the future of the milennail generation will depend on whether the internet is designed as the msarterst open education media; unlike history's separtated nations , all worldwide yputh's futures will depend on this challenge
