I will email you my phone! I think for individual groups is it much easier as they at least have a focus and also hope to inform others from other countries about what they are doing and what their issues are etc. But to be honest I am not overly impressed being here today. Its great to meet old friends and make new ones etc but that is not really why we all came here is it? I also think the NGOs are far to many and overbearing on the grassroots. Too much dancing for the non African visitors - drumming and dancing will bring change to Africa and only adds to this exoticism of Africa the "other" be gazed at as exotic blah blah blah Not sure but I didnt realise you are still here? I will email you my phone!

I also went to Uhuru Park at 4pm and was surprised about the amount of people wearing t-shirts with catchy slogans. What exactly are ppl expecting to happen on that event other than networking?
