5. African Views Year End Newsletter December 31, 2010 (Happy New Year
Posted by: "[email protected]" [email protected]
africanviews
Date: Sat Jan 15, 2011 12:22 am ((PST))
Information| Communication| Collaboration
Dear valued friends and colleagues,
Greetings! I will keep it short and simple with our last Newsletter for 2010.
On behalf of our dedicated team, I would like to share with you some
information that probably best describes our accomplishments this year:
African Views Organization
May 22, 2010:
AV produced Celebrate Diversity Day Festival at the Jackie Robinson Park in
Harlem. The Event showcased arts and music performances that represented major
cultural diversity of New York fabric as an appeal to further encourage racial
and cultural tolerance in Manhattan Boroughs. The protagonists of this event
were Frances Hanlon and Sacha Chavez
June 15, 2010:
AV Framework online, which had been 2 years in the making, was successfully
launched. The protagonist is Alex Wan.
August 15, 2010:
AV signed a contract to collaborate with Global media Production, the
producer of The African View to expand its media outreach. This partnership
was drawn with the internationally acclaimed show Host Bookie Shonuga, which
gave us new exposure to Radio and TV coverage in the African Views framework.
August 21, 2010:
Kwanisai Mafa signed on as the first country manager for Zimbabwe. He offered
25 acres of farmland in Gweru (one of the most beautiful cities in the world)
for African Views project. AV plans to build its first African Cultural
Exchange Institute on the property. This project will be our flagship project
for 2011.
October 8, 2010:
AV held an all day conference at the Permanent Mission of Nigeria in New York
to commemorate Nigeria 50th independent anniversary. The Event showcased
several notable speakers including Gabriel Okara, Best All-Around" award
winner, Nigerian Festival of Art, 1953, for "Call of the River Nun";
Commonwealth Joint Poetry Award, 1979, for The Fisherman's Invocation; Stephen
Hendel, the lead producer of Fela on Broadway, Bola Okezie, President of
African Student Association at Lehman College; Nicholas Owoyemi, president of
Africa Monitor and several other notable speakers, including Editor of Africa
Applause magazine, Debo Folorunsho. The moderators were Paul Adujie and Bookie
Shonuga.
October 11, 2010:
AV did TV coverage of the 50 distinguished Nigerians event at the Sheraton
Hotel in Hauppauge, New York. The event was in recognition of the contributions
made by diaspora Nigerians in different professional fields. Bookie Shonuga
interviewed more than 30 award recipients. The event was a brain child of Laolu
Akande the event producer and a renowned journalist. Reward James, a very
talented Cinematographer, covered the event.
October 23, 2010:
AV Television covered SOMPATT 2010, an all day conference at Boston University
on Highlighting the Educational and Cultural trends in the African Diaspora.
Bookie Shonuga was able to interview notable scholars in the Massachusetts area
including Dr. Willard Johnson, MIT; Dr. Joyce Hope Scott, Wheelock College; Mr.
Abooubacar Sedikhe, Dr. Magueye Seck, Curry College; and several others. This
event was made possible by Dovi Abbey.
November 30, 2010:
AV held a conference on Haiti, titled - Why Couldnt Haiti be Rescued. This
Forum was conducted to facilitate a progress assessment report on behalf of the
public, especially those who are affected emotionally and all who contributed
conscientiously in every way possible toward the rescuing and rebuilding of
Haiti. The event featured a panel of great scholars such as the Honorable Dr.
Ron Daniels, president of Institute of the Black World; The Queen Mother and
honored Mayor of Harlem, Dr. Delois Blakely; James Dorcely; Igeoma Simon, Paul
Adujie and Mathias Resch. Bookie Shonuga, the Director of African Views Media
Communications and the host of The African View Show moderated the event. The
event was made possible by Matt Latham, Director of community programs at the
Hoboken Library.
December 2, 2010
AV launched African Views African Cultural Exchange program for children at
Brooklyn PS107. Its first program was designed for 3rd Graders (8years old) and
featured 3 separate classes for about 100 kids. One class was a presentation
and discussion on What is Africa and African. The 2nd class taught kids how to
use recycle materials to create Ndebele dolls, an initiative of Lauren Purcell,
AVs Director of Childrens programs. The 3rd class was a dedicated African
Music and dance class. This event was made possible by Maria DAlbert, PS107
PTA, Phillip St. Luce, Frances Hanlon, Bookie Shonuga and Lauren Purcel.
December 5, 2010:
Kasandra Housley, African Views director of Outreach, finished writing the
first article about African Views for We magazine.
December 18, 2010:
African Views had its first Country Directors Meeting. AV Directors around the
world were able to connect via Skype to discuss their roles, goals and
expectations.
December 29, 2010:
AV tested the stability of the AV framework and added some socially responsible
monetizing components. Paid listing for AV business directory and we are very
glad to announce that the AV Authors and Publishers market place is now open
for business. Please bear in mind that adding these monetizing components is
one of our strategies to meet financial and economic requirements for the
Organization. AV will not be compromised by commercial interest and ads such as
Google as Ad Sense and other pop-ups. Country managers will be able to earn a
percentage of funds generated from the countries they manage. This is a much
required incentive and only a tip of the iceberg in the opportunities that AV
plans to unearth.
Dear friends and colleagues: as you can see, the team at AV has been very busy
since the framework was launched in June, 2010. African Views organization
itself was registered on November 7, 2007. A lot of background work has gone
into what AV has been able to achieve and its approach to improving social
standards and relationship between cultural values. With AVs strategy, we are
convinced that will succeed in getting expected and desirable results.
This is why we at AV are very grateful for your support, and we hope that you
continue to spread the word. By today AV has more than 300 subscribers to the
AV framework; 50 partners and volunteers, among which are about 8 country
managers (200 more to go) and more than 6000 unique visitors have been on the
framework since it was launched. These numbers are encouraging to us, and
confirm that we are going in the right direction. AV will continue to gain
relevance and as our work continues to make impact.
Please remember that our ultimate goals are:
(1) To promote strategies for fair representation and peace
(2) Encourage ideas and actions to improve the conditions for human and
societal developments.
And, to achieve this we need to continue to attract and collaborate with like
minded people. AV has incorporated a Facebook component to make logging into
the framework easier. You are now able to share your thoughts, ideas,
knowledge, experience and curiosities on the framework. As subscribers you have
access to contribute content directly to the framework, either by your writing
in the discourse and debates section or, uploading important document in the
research and report sections, or adding relative videos to our country profile
videos section, sharing your projects ideas that you need help with on
Collaborative opportunities, publishing your book on AV Marketplace, and
listing, rating and reviewing on our performance reviews component.
It has been a great year and a successful one for all of us at AV. At this time
we would like to say our heartfelt thanks to all who have worked odd hours to
help make AV a reality. On behalf of the AV Organization, we acknowledge the
contribution and support of the following people who have been helping us and

Posted by: "African Views" [email protected] africanviews
Date: Sat Jan 15, 2011 12:23 am ((PST))
African Views Radio Presents: What do you think?
Opposing views on the current gridlock in Cote d Ivoire argue that African
Leadership and the International Community agencies are overstepping their
boundaries by asking the incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo to step down
without challenging the decision of the Independent Election Commission who
declared Opposition Leader Alassane Ouatarra the winner of the recent election
conducted last November in Ivory coast. It is further suggested that France,
the former colonial master of Ivory Coast rushed to recognize the Mr. Alassane
Ouatarra without due process.

Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center is pleased to
welcome contemporary Brazilian dance company Grupo Corpo. Known for
consistently challenging perceptions of ballet and modern dance,
Brazil's Grupo Corpo (literally translated to "Body Group")
incorporates a broad range of elements, from minimalism and rootsy
modernity to vigorous pop and urban sounds. The Music Center debut
includes the inventive and athletic new piece ÃMÃ, sure to astound
audiences with its contagious energy. Paying tribute to Brazil's
rhythms and unique music, PARABELO'S multi-textured soundscape is as
breathtaking as the movements of the dancers.
