Dear Colleagues,

Who is in charge of the down program in Uganda. Please read below

The Global Walk for India's Missing Girls' is a march by
people all over the world to protest against female foeticide and
infanticide- the genocide in India. In March 2010 ,
over a 1000 people walked in San Francisco, Delhi, Mumbai, Jamshedpur,
Pondicherry, Kuwait and Melbourne.

In India over the last 20 years, 10 million girls have been killed by
their parents, either before or immediately after birth because they
consider daughters a burden.

Why are these horrific crimes against women being ignored? Where is
the public outcry? Where is the media attention?

The next Global Walk for India's Missing Girls will be held in March
2011, on the occasion of International Women's Day and is aimed at
creating awareness and spurring action in the Indian and the
International communities.The Walk will take place in San Francisco,
Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkotta, Jamshedpur, Pondicherry , Melbourne
( Australia), and Kampala (Uganda),  Sri Ganganagar and Jaipur -
Rajasthan, Ambala, Raipur _Chhatisgarh, Vancouver and Edmunton-
Canada.

Walk for India's Missing Girls is founded by the documentary film team
'Petals In The Dust: India's Missing Girls' - www.petalsinthedust.com.
We hope through the walk and our film to create awareness globally, of
the elimination of India's girls.

Please join us in large numbers to make this event a success. The
organizers of the March in various cities and countries are-
Chennai- Lakshmi Manoharan
-Abhitej Singh - Chandigarh
Beaula Knauf - Goa
Deepu Thomas - Pondicherry
Isaac Farias - Washington D.C

Greetings from Guyana, I am very pleased to be associated with Youth Competence as I think many of our youth need strategic leadership to realise their full potential and dreams. Every child has a unique gift and is special in God's eye.The Youth are tomorrow's Leaders and may we as adults be a "positive" role model so that they will continue to shine their light through the World's darkness!

Dear All,

Greetings from India!

 

We decided that youth competence group will be moderated in turn by members of youth competence. Korey Anthony Chisholm from Guyana came forward to facilitate the group. He did a superb job in moderation, motivatin members, encouraging exchange. He was on a vacation but was happy to moderate the group. Thanks a lot Korey. Hope you will come back to moderate again.

 

Wiwin from Indonesia will moderate the group in the coming weeks. I look forward to it.

 

Anyone who would like to moderate the group, please let me know.

 

Rituu
