Hi Ida
I just tried a copy paste and it worked fine. In fact it is a copy that they put for you to cut/paste into your network so I am not sure how to go in and Hyperlink. Will try..
Thanks for trying!

Hi,

I've just taken action with ONE and asked the leaders of twenty of the world's wealthiest and most powerful nations to hold an upcoming G20 Summit in Africa, to focus the world's attention on how Africa can and must be part of any successful economic recovery.

I hope you'll join me: http://www.one.org/us/g20toafrica/index.html?rc=g20toafricataf

The nation hosting a G20 summit helps set the agenda, and bringing the G20 to Africa would focus the world as never before on this market of 1 billion people. And, with world leaders headed to Pittsburgh for a summit at the end of this month, now is the perfect time to ask them to look to Africa for one of their next meetings.

http://www.one.org/us/g20toafrica/index.html?rc=g20toafricataf

Together as ONE, we can make a difference.

Thanks!

Our non-profit works with co-ops in East Africa and we are looking to source some base fabrics for our collection. Ideally organic, but should be fair-trade. We found these beautiful kangas while were there 3 weeks ago but the vendor can't get them anymore. Does anyone have recommendations on vendors/sources for printed fabrics made within Africa ideally?

Hi All. Please forgive the hiatus. Meaghan & Kate have finished their internships and are back to their studies. The administration of Africa and Ghana web groups will be taken over by myself, Katrina & Blandine. I hope to get you a run-down of the Africa event by the end of the week....
Please keep the comments and conversations flowing whilst we catch up!
Speak soon
Chantal
