What's Happening in the UK

I am writing on my own here, but in some senses on behalf of others who are also quite busy. I just feel at this moment very close to my brothers and sisters in Nigeria, Cameroon, India, USA, Gambia and all those who I do not yet know, and especially a brother near Gaza who is desperately trying to get in to render medical assistance. Jocelyn Jones, Tom Lines and myself met today to discuss ways forward for World Family, how we can incorporate ourselves to raise funds, what activities we are en… Continue

Andrew Mwenda's talk

I am embedding this video from a resource called T.E.D because it seems to run so parallel to Seinde's message to use. It is one of many, and adds weight to the essence of what Seinde is doing - the difference is Seinde is not just addressing an elite in special think tanks and universities, he is addressing ordinary people too.

Extract of Email from a Friend who has worked in Baby Milk Action most of her life

I received an email today drawing my attention to her obituary for one of the pioneers of the Baby Milk Action initiative. Here is the relevant extract:

Just thought you might be interested to see my Obituary for Dr Natividad Clavano today’s paper (p36). Her work in the 70s was really important gave foundation to our campaign. It showed that decisive action really can make a difference to child survival.

After applying for a chance to edit half a BBC Radio4 Today program with 2 others, Paul Chi and Jocelyn Jones my instincts (and discussions with a most intelligent friend) tell me that our direct, unbranded approach may not fit with the very distinct branding that stations like Radio 4 cling to in fear of anything they do not recognise or is "off their screen".

To Whomever It May Concern

There will be World Peace
So why are we waiting?
Why don't you catch up with us all
And give up your incessant debating?

Don't you know that all your prating
Is a waste of time?

So why are we waiting?
