Thanks to those who made sacrifices to try to attend the last failed WNF meeting.
Obviously lack of attendance is a serious testimonyand reflection on whether we can realistically function collectively as a team. Organizing people is not going to be easy. But those of you who share the passion, vision and attitude for development should continue to share and sell the idea to the non believers. In the past two years, we have debated all kinds of problems: Poor healthcare delivery, deforestation, lack of electricity, high umemployment, high school drop out rates, poor grades in the national exams, hunger and starvation almost every two years, etc. If we continue to do nothing about these problems, they will continue to hurt us a a society. I believe by coming together as a group and begin to tackle some of these problems/challenges is a realistic way to solve some of the problems. Please let us know when the meeting will be held and time Just remember there is 8 hours difference between EA and North America depending on the region.
