While it seems that ONE did all that it could to keep Africa in the discussions, it also seems that a lot more could have been accomplished from the donor countries there. Olly, there is only ONE way that our desires for Africa will be accomplished and that is if we, AS ONE, do even more than we are currently doing to BUILD A MASS MOVEMENT for Africa, from the grassroots upward so that the politicians at these meetings hear a clear sound from their electorate on the MDG's. Without a mass movement, we will continue to swim upstream with limited success. Still, all our hearts go out to those of you from ONE in Doha who did the best that you could in this round of meetings. Let's hope the G20 meeting in London is better for Africa. ALWAYS ONE in the Spirit, debbie :) www.mpwn-uganda.org Thanks Chris for this wrap up from the Doha meetings.
