Louis Loizou's Blog (7)

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

Program 1 Interview with Dr. Makuanjola Olaseinde Arigbede (Seinde for short) inspiration for this group, with Jocelyn Jones & Paul Chi of Healthy Concerts which concerns everything related to this World Family Group which gave birth to this site, the theme of the program being Food Sovereignty and Participatory Development - see the main… Continue
