  Future of Africa
Submitted By:   sirtkay
Committers:  23
Date Created:  2008-04-22 		Description:   It is very obvious Africa as a continent faces all the odds we can think about in our contemporary world. Despite Africa being the backbone of success everywhere in the world, the state of affairs in Africa does not depict its contribution to the success off shores. I believe Africa can cause a revolution in all the negative aspects of the world and the continent can change and be a living testimony to the assertion "from grass to grace". I have decided to dedicate my life in which ever way i can effect change and i know there are people out there who are willing to do same to enable us achieve change in Africa. The future of Africa lies in the hands of Africans and its about time to stand up and realize your potential of making this change a reality. No matter how difficult it might be it is worthy of trying. Mother Africa is calling please pick up the phone... http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=25392232624&ref=share

  Learning more about other cultures
Submitted By:   laurakenyon
Committers:  1060
Date Created:  2007-11-01 		Description:   A lot of misconceptions exist about different cultures because people do not always take the time to get the whole picture. The more we learn about other cultures the less misconceptions and stereotypes there will be! Educating yourself about different cultures will not only make you a more knowledgeable and tolerant person, but you will gain respect for cultures and the people who are a part of them.
