Greetings from the Mariapolis Piero (Nairobi,
Kenya) where we are celebrating the 2014 United World Week. 200 Youth for a
United World have come together from all over Africa and beyond for this week
where we are marking a significant new step in the "Sharing with
Africa" project.
In some ways this
project goes back to the 1960s Operation Africa, which supported the people of
Fontem (Cameroun).[1] This project was
relaunched at the last Genfest, and draws inspiration from the desire expressed
at a Panafrican meeting of young people in 2011 that we should now concentrate
on building relationships of reciprocity between the Africa and the rest of the
world, where Africans participate not just as receivers, but also as givers. In
particular, they wished to share those cultural values that have sometimes been
lost in other parts of the world, the moral and cultural wealth which is not
only a heritage for the African future generations but for all the youth spread
all over the world. This unifying vision of the world, typical of African
cultures is a gift that the African
Continent can give to the rest of the world in order to understand the value of
being human.
