RE: [WestNileNet] IS IT ANOTHER NGO PHOBIA?
Hello JJA and all, Big thanks for that response - i was worried if i have thrown a rot. The fact is that a name or rename or another name doesn't necessarily define who we are nor does it give us authority. I think that regardless of name, the purpose which proves and defines the value of our intentions would work better to tell why we are for who, thus branding us better or worse than any other network or forum or organisation out there. I'm very convinced that a rename is not necessary and that we are already branded in the current name of this network with a stronger sound of Identity. A name that is simply clear and not overloaded with language but actually identity. And our authority shall be derived from how much our purpose and contributions appeal to the target community, no matter how many formalities we go through. The community may go to various supermarket of ideas but will find some with geniune and fresh products or just best services. I guess we just need to set how we organise the shelves, lay out the selling space, counters and directions for the various goods and services, as well as how we source and dispose the services. Kigs will say the System Set up. I salute you for the enormous +ve contribution and hence the kilocalories that you expend on this course. I believe whereever you are, you have the ability to Set up that desired System Setup. I pray that you make that your next Trajectory. Good on you, RObetia Date: Sat, 30 May 2009 17:52:15 -0700 From: javud...@gmail.com To: WestNileNet@kym.net CC: Subject: [WestNileNet] IS IT ANOTHER NGO PHOBIA? Hello Brothers and sisters, I will try to very brief. While bother Obetia may be rightly worried about the name thing..? If I remeber correctly, Fr. Rufino raised the question of who are we. Correct me if I am wrong. The question arose out of how do we present the ideas/suggestions/recommendations we have been raising in regards to: a) Poor performance in schools b) Closing of school in Koboko c) Barifa Issue d) Poverty and High unemployement The challenge we have is: i) who should receive the points we have raised? ii) what authority do we have to raise these issues? who are we anyway? iii) If we do not have any kind of authority, will these ideas be accepted by the respective authorities in the region? I remember one of the team membes had suggested disseminating the summary points to radio stations. The consus was we should hold off until we are better organized. From this point,Mr Andema proposed a name West Nile Global Forum.. For our disccusion I posted the topic Who we are? orbetter Who are we? If we have difficulty in coming to a conclusion, why don;t we form an AD HOC COMMITTE to look into this? I have no doubts that WestNile Net is an excellent medium of communication for all of us. By no means should anyone attempt to pull people away for his/her self interest. This is a micro parliament where we should cherish our intellectual wealth,wisdom and diversity of ideas.
