It is a beautiful vision for us to keep that ONE day the People of Africa, especially its children, will have their issues fully represented in the halls of the decision-makers for our country. For that vision to become a reality it is UP TO US as ONE supporters to make sure that these children have a voice in our government which is exactly what ONE is doing with our ONE VOTE '08 initiative. I was fortunate enough to have seen the African Children's Choir perform earlier this year when they came through my city (Austin TX). I will never forget their performance onstage but I will also never forget the conversation that I had with several of the children after their performance which ended up as a group hug for about a dozen of us! Their deep humanity will stay with me for a very long time. ~ Have a beautiful day, my friends.Please don't let it get away! ALWAYS ONE in the Spirit, debbie :) Thanks very much for this report!
