	Dear Friends and Colleagues, The Earth Charter with it very unique principles, values and ethics for achieving sustainable development has in many ways inspire me more than I can only imagined! On May 4th 2009 at the UN Headquarters with the support of the youth Caucus members I delivered the youth opening statement at the Opening session of UN Commission on Sustainable Development 17th Session, among other task of representing African youths I was indeed filled with a deep sense of humility and responsibility by the enormous task of lobbying for youth participation especially those of African youth participation. An Environment where Adults believe that they have the monopoly of Knowledge can not lead to a sustainable future in Africa!! May I also say that I was an Earth Charter Youth representative and with the support of the German Govt, my participation was made possible. The Report can be view on the Earth Charter website at http://www.earthcharterinaction.org/content/articles/291/1/ECI-youth-rep-in-the-UN-Commission-on-Sustainable-Development-CSD-/Page1.html (I advice that you read my report) After some consultation with some African Youth Rep at the UN CSD, I have applied for the post of African Regional Coordinator at United Nations CSD Major Group on Children & Youth. This is continue the work that has been started and to effectively promote and advocate for African youth particpation at the UN CSD 18 and beyond! I am therfore seeking your mandate and votes when the elections start from July 20, 2009 at 12:00 am EST. With the skills gained during my particpation at e-GLO (Earth Charter Global Learning Opportunity) I now have the technical as well as mental capacity to effectively lead the African youths at the Youth and Children Major Group and to Gather input from youth in African region (input could be specific projects that youth from the region would like to share as case studies and/or specific policy outcomes) Above all, I believe in Africa, I believe in myself and I believe in you. I need your help to achieve this dream.. Yes We Can!!! Africa: A Without Poverty and a sustainable Future! Yes We Can!! The Procedure for the voting will be posted on the listserve from July 20th and I will keep you all posted. Thank you!
