What's uppermost on my mind:
Michael Awiti shares what is uppermost on his mind:
ABC4All Mentors' Beyond Borders Initiative
Name: Michael Awiti
Email Address: makawiti247 (at) yahoo (dot) com
The intiative is aimed at establishing a network that brings Mentors from different countries together. There has been a deep desire in my heart to go beyond my backyard, country, Local ABC4All / KENYA and network with other Mentors for a better tomorrow.
I have these questions:
1. What role cân the Mentors play in bringing people together thereby increasing the impact of ABC4All?
2. Are we serious about change? Do we really have a burden to seé positive change in our country, our continent and world?
3. What are we doing about it?
4. How can we increase the impact of Mentors through an action-oriented approach?
The overriding objective of Beyond Borders is working together for greater impact. Our differences as Mentors should serve to complement our respective actions rather than to alienate one from the other. Mentors should be able to travel to other locations.
I strongly believe that first hand experiences would leave lasting impression ón people's lives and enrichly transform many.
A NEW MODEL FOR Local ABC4All ANY TIME, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!
THE SEEDS OF Local ABC4All Efforts have been sewn. Let them GERMINATE. Let them GROW and FLOURISH. When we meditate for ONE MINUTE, let us feel/express the DEEPEST OF APPRECIATION FOR WHAT HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE.

"What will make YOUR PERSONAL community better for all?,"
you are acting.

about the then approaching 300th Mentor (presently we are at 663)!
"Goes without saying. ABC4All is an exceptional entity that will surpass this number even before the set date. As a mentor, I will mobilize and lobby to ensure that this goal is met and we get more Mentors who realize that making a difference in someone's life is the best thing to do. Let's soldier on, we can do it because it can be done."
Thanks to ALL the Mentors for participating with ABC4All!

Waleed from Egypt states:
"There is no doubt that TakingITGlobal is the most important online place. Only TIG can help young leaders all over the world to exchange our ideas and think together about achieving the best. With TIG there is no borders between us - only what we need is to be online to make new friendships between each other and respect one another."I have a dream that I would like to live to see the day that all youth leaders in all over the world from TIG will be the real leaders in their countries. Then we will have all what we need to reach our goals, not only for youth, but for our world and our next generations."
