Helping Somalia
After I got the first email from the United Nation about the Food Crisis in Horn of Africa, the situation got my attention. Since that day, I was always trying to find what I can do, what young people can do to help. Today I decide to join Rwanda help for Somalia a group of youth which is collection donation in Rwanda to help Somalia. As I join the group this afternoon, I have proposal them some ideas we can use to raise more money. Below it is the letter that I send to the committee of the group
Dear Friends
Hope this find you well. Let me start by express my gratitude to all of you for the great decision you took to save lives of our Brothers and Sisters from Somalia. I want to contribute with my ideas.
1 CONTACTS
They are very important institutions you should work to be able to raise more money
1 Miniyouth or Minaffet: Why? Miniyouth or Minaffet will help you to get where you can’t get and also it will make people to have confidence that their money will be send to help Somalia special if you want Companies like MTN and others to donate
2 UNDP Rwanda: Why? Same reason I mention before.
2 FUNDRAISING
Media: Use not only social media but also Radios, newspaper and RTV so people can know that the group is there and is collecting Donation because the more people know about it, the more the donate. One of the first steps is organizing a press conference, where you invite all journalist and explain them everything and ask them to be partners on this, so the make publicity of it in their news paper , going with you when you are going for collecting donation and updates people every day
SMS: trying to organize a meetings with MTN and TiGO ask them if they can make away where people can send SMS and the will already donating, the more the send SMS, the more the donate lot money. These will be easy even people who are outside of Kigali to donate money.
Institution and Schools: High Schools are coming from holidays this month, talk to the administration and ask them if they can make a collection for money in every class for may be a week or more. Do the same for University .Other important thing is if you want people to donate find them where there. Ex: send a team of volunteers to go to every institution in Rwanda like Bralirwa, Sonarwa, Kobil, Ministries, NGOs……ask their staff (not the company because they will tell you that they didn’t put in their budget or go we will thing about it) to donate.
Businessmen and Hotels: talk to Hotel manages how you can put a box or a table at their reception for donation. For people who have shops, send a team of people who will go door by door to ask for donation.
Let me finishing as I say having media with you It is very important and make thing easy because it will do publicity for you and people will donate. Also having a institution like Miniyouth, Minaffet or UN Rwanda it will make people trust you and donate more.
Thank you again for all you are doing

The High Level Meeting on Youth at UN-New York
Representatives from 400 youth groups gathered in New York today to attend a high-level meeting on youth convened by the General Assembly to discuss a wide range of issues of concern to the younger generation, including jobs, poverty and sustainable development.
Key speakers at the opening session of the two-day event include Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the President of the General Assembly Joseph Deiss, supermodel Alek Wek, who was born in South Sudan, and Brazilian youth representative Romulo Dantas.
A number of heads of State are also expected to attend the gathering, which will also be addressed by several other senior UN officials.
I will be closely following the meeting and I am hoping the HLMY will mark the beginning of engage young people in decision making as partners not follow us.
The high-level meeting is part of events to mark the International Year of Youth, and will have the overarching theme of “Youth: Dialogue and Mutual Understanding.”
It will comprise two consecutive informal interactive thematic panel discussions on Monday and two plenary meetings on Tuesday, with the former chaired by Member States at the invitation of Mr. Deiss.
The first panel discussion will be on the theme of strengthening international cooperation on youth affairs and enhancing dialogue, mutual understanding and active participation to achieve social integration, full employment and poverty eradication.
The second panel will be on the challenges to youth development and opportunities for poverty eradication, employment and sustainable development.
