More information about
the African Women and Youth Conference in Dakar, Senegal March 10-11,
2007
We are delighted to
hear that you and your organization are interested in the African Women and
Youth conference in Dakar, Senegal on March 10-11, 2007. This will be our 12th
conference and our first one in Africa. We have had an awesome response from
organizations from all over Africa and we all seem to have the same problem of
lack of resources to get to the conference. We are also a grassroots African
organization and we do not have any money. The reason we have been able to do
these conferences is because everyone that participates volunteers their labor
and it is our labor that allows us to do the conferences. If we were depending
on money we would not have been able to do any of the conferences that have been
done. The theme of this conference is the importance of self-reliance and if
Africa is going to be self-reliant then it is our hard work and determination
that we must depend on to get everything done. We would love to have at
least one representative from each African country to participate in the
conference so if we do not have enough resources for everyone who wants to come,
we ask that in each country you pick one person to represent you and everyone
help that person to get to the conference. We believe this is the best way to
proceed. Registration is at the door and the conference is free. We are calling
for African Women and Youth conferences to be organized everywhere. We are not
rich people so we must think in terms of how we can use our labor and
determination to organize these conferences where we live and not let money be
the reason that we do not organize these conferences and build African Women and
Youth Movements. This is the only way that we are going to liberate and unify
Africa.
With an undying love
for mother Africa,

Building
an African Women’s Movement and Forming International
Sisterhood
African
Women’s/Youth Conferences Everywhere
The African’s Women’s Charity Organization is calling for
the organization of African Women’s/Youth Conferences everywhere. It does not
matter if it is small or big. It does matter that we have as many as possible in
as many places as possible. To facilitate this we have made available
“organizer’s kits” that consist of the cover letter that we send to
organizations for participation, a list of the tasks that must be done, a
leaflet for the event, an introduction to all the panels that we suggest be read
before each panel, an evaluation form, organizing tasks we suggest for after the
conference.
Some objectives for the conferences
are;
1. To build African Women’s and
Youth movements in order to inspire, educate, mobilize, and organize the largest
number of African women and youth possible.
2. To do as much publicity as
possible so everyone will know that we are building these movements and that we
need their help.
3. To get as many women and
youth as possible to participate in organizing these
conferences.
4. To identify and work with as
many African organizations as possible.
If you or your organization is interested in organizing
one of these conferences in your community then please contact us
ASAP.
