HELP US GROW. MAKE A DONATION TO AFRICA AGENDA TODAY!
Friends, members, visitors and supporters of Africa Agenda.
Welcome to the online home of our organization! I hope you fine this website helpful towards an understanding of comtemporary Africa and the many challenges it faces today. We are here to help, and with your support, make Africa a better continent for future generations.
I want to take a moment to highlight some of our recent accomplishments and to ask for your help to move our organization to produce the next set of results for Africa.
Since March 2005, we have rolled up our sleeves and conducted nearly one hundred (100) breakthrough Africa related forums and events around the Denver metro area. During this time, we have not only partnered and worked with over fifty (50) organizations and communities; our activities have placed increasing focus on the significant role that a vibrant Africa can play in the world today.
In 2008, we held the Zimbabwe Talk as well as the Kenya Media and Citizens Dialogue, organized in the aftermath of elections violence in Kenya and Zimbabwe. Your participation and comments about the role of Africa Agenda in community conflict mediation-reconciliation remain resounding.
In May 2009, we kicked-off the Cameroon Information and Education Project (CIEP), to help bridge the knowledge and information gap about Cameroon. As part of the CIEP, we invited leaders from the Cameroonian embassy in Washington DC and the local community to discuss the future of Cameroon. In just four months, the CIEP has distributed over 500 free-pocket-size copies of the revised Cameroon Constitution. The booklets include the April 2008 constitutional amendments made by the administration. Today, the demand for more Cameroon constitution booklets is overwhelming our organization.
In July 2009, we organized Obama, Ghana and John Atta Mills in response to President Obama’s visit to Ghana. This was a historic event for the Ghanaian nation and for Africa Agenda as well. For one thing, the discussions led to a recommendation for Africans to take ownership of affairs of Africa and not remain as bystanders. We are now working to translate these recommendations into actions.
In less than five years, Africa Agenda has not only established a uniqueness about what we do; we have distinguished ourselves as a driven, focused and determined organization. We have done this by sitting at the forefront of the global challenges confronting Africa today.
But this is only the beginning. We are not relenting! We need your help so we can continue to deliver our message to a broader and broader audience. You can help by contributing $25, $50 or $100. Without your help our voices will not be heard.
Remember, your contribution is tax deductible. You can write a check and mail to Africa Agenda, or make a contribution through this website or call us.
Sincerely,
George Bamu
