Ayoub mzee with the Deputy secretary general of the United Nations- Dr Rosemary Asha migiroThe UN has played an important role in addressing conflicts in Africa. Half of the peacekeeping missions in the post-Cold War era have been in Africa. The continent also hosts about 85 percent of peacekeepers. In addition, a significant amount of the UN’s socio-economic and humanitarian efforts are located in Africa. In spite of the important role played by the UN in Africa, there is still paucity of knowledge about the organization and how to access it to serve the continent’s needs among many African practitioners and policy makers.We believe that the appointement of Dr Rosemary Asha Migiro as the Deputy secretary General will help to boost that image given her experience.
Food and Crafts of the Commonwealth - In aid of the CCL Education Fund.
Since 1925 the Commonwealth Countries League has worked to promote the development, education and empowerment of women. Through its charity, the CCL Education Fund, formed in the 1960's, it sponsors girls of proven potential enabling them to complete their secondary or high school education where, without such help, they would be unable to do so
Even when basic tuition is provided free, families may not be able to afford the associated costs - travel, uniform, books, exam fees. Boarding may be essential. Girls can be especially vulnerable if they are expected to remain at home to help care for the family or work in the fields or markets. Sadly in some cases education for girls is still viewed as a waste of time.
The challenge of providing free and universal education at secondary or high school level in countries struggling with development, health and economic issues cannot always be met.
All proceeds from the event go to the CCL Education Fund, allowing them to continue their work and further the education of girls across the member nations.
