                                 “Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.”

(Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth)

 

"We the peoples of the United Nations .."

(Charter of the United Nations preamble)

 

         "O.2015.C" stands for "Objective 2015 Caravan". After being involved in couple of Active Citizens projects in Cardiff, after being involved in international volunteering projects, after being and contributing in several meetings, conferences and workshops about the poverty problem in the United Kingdom and in Africa, I then decided to design a new vision that could benefit, not only to people of Newport and Wales, but also to people of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where I am originally from.  I know that it is a real big challenge, but we do have luckily in Wales many examples of successfully projects (PONT, Newport Grossroots, etc.) that could become our role models and I met many welcome people who are willing also to become our godfather.

 

         O.2015.C. The vision is very simple. In 2015, the United Nations and the World leaders will evaluate the agreed Millennium Development Goals. An investigation and personal statistic showed that only 0.5 % of Newport based people know about the MDG and less than 2% know about the United Nations and also that we could be involved in close the poverty gaps in the south countries and that we could be involved in worldwide activities like climate change.

 

         The vision is that, we are dreaming and want to work very hard that in 2015, during that evaluation, Newport also wants to put its name in that map that we have achieve something, even little, about the MDG. In fact, we are dreaming to strength the now started and launched link between Newport and Bokoro; we are dreaming to bring some volunteers from Newport to Bokoro; we are dreaming to advocate and to lobby our ideas and to be part of that worldwide movement and campaigns.

 

         We have already received some supports from main of our leaders and politicians. Their names will be added soon.

 

       What could we deliver at Bokoro?... We will avoid reinventing the wheel. We will copy and link some of our Newport community projects and activities; some of them are really wonderful initiatives: The Newport City Radio, Urban Circle and its young people project, the Life Music Foundation, the Bike recycling project (SEWREC), students could benefit by involving in filming and photography projects.

 

       Let’s dream to link Newport-Bokoro-New York, with Newport dot to be on the 2015 map of those who have delivered the MDG.
