<DIV>In total agreement with you.</DIV>
<DIV>But are we really poor? Our pockets might be empty but i suppose (could
be wrong) we are not that intellectually poor. Ideas abound but still we have
to turn to the West to make them a reality. Its called the culture of
dependence.Or is it the power of the buck?</DIV>
<DIV>I think we need to start at this point. Killing this culture.</DIV>
<DIV>It starts at our institutions of learning with the right education.But
not when we are taking ages to revise our educational curriculums to reflect
the needs of our country.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Pss... speaking of information, Walu and i will be on radio Waumini
88.5fm tomorrow morning from 10.30am taking a look at the draft ICT policy and
its importance especially to mwananchi .Its our contribution to
disseminating information about the same.</DIV>

I might add, Education is the key for all and only then will we have
the valuable knowledge to know, why we need to have a good environment,
infrastructure etc. Why it is important to protect what we have for the
future of our children and the next generations to come. Then we can
be self sufficient and keep out of debt and use our resources
intelligently. The need to assist our children to have access to
higher levels of education is so necessary. It seems that only the very few
get this privilege!!! So the monies can be spent on giving more higher
learning opportunities to our children to gain the necessary skills to then
take over and lead the country to higher levels. The focus seems to be only
at primary and secondary stage and then...................... no monies and
the majority end up lost. Of course ICT is now the door to this!!!!!

money is good especially if it's put to good use like training and skill
impartation, job creation, providing business opportunities and creating a
secure and conducive environment for business. I believe teach a man or
woman to fish, and that will impact positively on poverty reduction and
subsequently, hunger, disease, child mortality among other problems. Of
course all this and each person's serious renewed commitment to the war
against corruption will help our African countries get out of the debt
situation more quickly and get back our looted billions!</FONT>

<DD>Maybe if the white band cost about 1,000/= and the money was put
directly into a fund towards a poverty alleviation strategy. But
personally I don't see how the wearing band will help.... at least not
here in Kenya <BR><BR>

<DD>Sorry but I have to ask a question here, good intentions I guess,
but how exactly does wearing a white or whatever colour band impact on
poverty? Can we get more practical here?? Can we all agree to do
something tangible to alleviate poverty in our own way or as a
group....like increase access to ICTs for rural and urban poor in
Africa?
