The Problem

In Uganda or Africa as a whole, youth have had people to come to the grass root levels to talk about how youth can empower themselves through talents, creative art, to be good public speakers, or help themselves in any way they can. With the little information i know is that, some youth foundations have started in various parts of Uganda and other parts of Africa. But again, have received little or no media coverage to international scene or viral networks. Some of youth activists who have laid their lives to see that this happens have been joined by some youth like in my country who had any creative ability in any category ranging from Music, arts, dance, graphics, video graphy among others to see that get what youth are doing to the international scene through creating blogs (http://bavubukacommunity.blogspot.com) http://africa256.wordpress.com, http://soniceclectic.com/2010/10/the-ship-crew/ among other to use the internet as a tool to create awareness. Some of our friends are using socially conscious music to also create awareness across the continent http://bavubuka.org http://www.facebook.com/gilbertdaniels

Plan of Action

- cover short videos youth who have made impact in the community & post them on the internet so other youth can get to understand whats happening in Uganda. - record socially conscious music which will inspire & encourage more to pursue their dreams. - Get important people from all over the world & get to talk to the youth through forums, conferences & seminars. -Buy more materials to youth teach others who may show interest in learning a skill
