HRO UPDATE
Summer 2008 Edition
Upcoming Trips and Missions
Recently, I was certificated internationally for my
active participation and hosting of the MDGs One
Day Awareness held on April 25, 2008 in Liberia.
This certificate was recently issued by the One
World Youth Project, based in the United States of
America.
I am using this medium to encourage all of you to
contribute to the UN Millennium Development
Goals, locally, nationally, and internationally. The
UN can not and will not achieve everything
relating to the UN MDGs with out the help of
NGOs, INGOs, countries, concern individuals, etc.
This should start with you.

Thanks.
