Interview With Amina Lawal's Attorney

Notes To A Globalizing World From A Maasai Warrior
From Baobabconnections in Tanzania: "When I went to the United Nations, I
thought that I would meet people from every nation of the world. I
expected to find Maasai and Wahadzabe and people from thousands of other
indigenous tribes making the important decisions... but I heard only the
languages of rich people, like English, French and German."

2. Africa Day In the Netherlands

On Saturday 12 April 2003, EVS (Evert Vermeer Stichting, PvdA) organizes
her yearly Africa Day (Conference) in Utrecht.

Hosting up to 1000 visitors, this conference has become the largest Dutch

topic this year is globalisation in Africa.

an online networking workshop. So we invite all members who can to come
along. If you are interested to be a volunteer and help us do publicity
