An Introduction to World Family Group for Visitors & Link to The World Family Website

Dear visitor, welcome to World Family Group - We use this space to communicate, pass news, share ideas and plan our meetings and work. It is like our global family kitchen table (or perhaps in Nigeria 'The Big Tree') and you may find the conversations difficult to follow.

Therefore, as a first point of call please visit the introductory site at: either:
http://www.worldfamily.org.uk/ for the New UK based Website (still under construction)
or the US Website: http://myworldfamily.org/

The aim of the UK site will be to introduce World Family and each of our partners, to explain what we are about, and to offer opportunities to get involved actively, including donations and the raising of funds for many initiatives internationally. It will be fully operational as soon as we can manage it.

Please join us here if you wish to.

In the UK and the USA we are few in number and urgently need more proactive members, not “to help” but people who seek an outlet for doing what they love in support of a compatible global vision. If this is you, please contact either Louis or Jocelyn in the UK (early member pages) or Seyifunmi in the USA.

NEW UK WEBSITE

There is a new website under construction in the UK to reflect our new initiatives to raise funds and awareness of the issues of the day/week/month etc. We have had a very successful beginning to this new phase and hope to do even better, especially if we can get new active members here and in the US.

We are gratified to see more new people joining this group, new articles (one just featured containing valuable information and resources on the so-called "Green Revolution" and its failure) new photographs and so on.

The UK Website, once again, which will incorporate information on Nigeria, Cameroon, The Gambia and Northern India as well as our activities in the UK as it is gradually put together over the coming weeks:

http://www.worldfamily.org.uk/

Welcome to all new members from a very busy small team in the UK.

Louis.

GMO in Nigeria

Here is a link to an article from All Africa about the Nigerian government embracing GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and the opposition for groups including Environmental Rights Action. I am not sure of how the role of USAID here relates to food sovereignty, as many of their programmes are about producing food for export.

My Thoughts on the 2008 Presidential Campaign

The 2008 Presidential Campaign
By Frank T. Scruggs, M.A., Ph.D. Candidate
May 2008

Needless to say, the 2008 campaign for the Presidency of the United States is an unprecedented historical event. In this particular race, the campaign itself has come to be a symbolic race of the previously disenfranchised; blacks and women to the pinnacle of government leadership. The image of the President of the United States has moved beyond a white males only club to a genuinely open contest.

The ascension… Continue
