I have just read an article where the UN is calling for more funding for the Horn of Africa. I don't object that it is a good cause by good people but that is not what Somali NEEDS.

The phenomenon’s causes, however, have remained largely the same; economic, personal insecurity, intolerance, political exclusion, oppression, conflict, war and various forms of chaos and catastrophe.
Chaos and catastrophe may be triggered off by global warming and climate…

The World Commission on Environment and Development defined sustainable development as “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. This definition considers that development should occur in such a way that the capacity of the natural environment to meet present and future needs is not compromised.

Young people make an important target group within the demand side in this consumer society and play a determinant role in future consumption patterns. Yet they are not given the special attention they deserve when considering consumption patterns. In most cases they are regarded as ‘victims’ of contemporary consumer culture.
However, while some young people are more concerned about the future of the earth they will inherit, some others are taking initiatives in proposing alternatives…

Information and communications technology is transforming the world and producing ‘knowledge’ or ‘intangible’ or ‘weightless’ products to which traditional economic principles do not apply. The internet is an important element of this weightless economy and the users of the internet are among the world’s most closely observed specimens of humanity.
Uses of the Internet
Generally speaking the internet makes it easier to deliver what participants in the economy have always…

Like each flake of snow, floating through the sky
We are all unique, we are all alike
Take a look around, you will see its true
You are a lot like me, I am a lot like you
Every body has eyes, they come in different shapes
Some are brown, some are blue, some are grey
Every body has skin, it comes in many shades
It may be dark, it may be light or in between
Everybody lives, everybody…

We define our self-worth by contributing to society.
Youth do that with each text message. The days when we just had to be silent in school or work are gone. Texting gives everyone a universal voice that cannot be silenced. Poverty…
