Professionals Foundation. 

Born at the conclusion of the first International Young Professionals 
Summit in October 2001 on Australia´s Gold Coast, the IYPF has grown in 
to a strong global network of young professionals spanning 130 countries 
working together to create a better world for current and future 
generations. 

To celebrate our 7th Birthday, we´ve put together 7 `gifts´ for you.

'youth building a peaceful, equitable and sustainable world' OIYP  

…………..as long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest. Alleviating poverty is not an act of charity. It is an act of duty. Nelson Mandela 
The young leaders who gather for the second sitting of the Oxfam International Youth Parliament (OIYP) in July 2004 in Sydney come from every corner of the Globe and each of them has something unique to contribute. In their diversity they are united by common ideals. They are determined to work together to bring real change where it is needed most in the world.  KOFI ANNAN, Former UN Secretary General
