1. WhyCantWeGetMarried.com West Africa Chapter launched!

One year on from launching the project, WhyCantWeGetMarried.com has launched our first regional project centre; ‘WhyCantWeGetMarried.com West Africa Chapter’!

George, a passionate and beautiful man from Sierra Leone is leading the West Africa Chapter and making amazing progress. Working on educational campaigns in schools, lobbying with community leaders, creating posters and handbills, as well as hosting radio programs are just some of the many projects that George has been working on. We are incredibly thankful to have George on board and look forward to working with him in 2009.

2. New partnership established with ‘Africa Change International’!

Africa Change International is a project dedicated to making a difference in the lives of at risk young people in Ghana through education and sport. Like us, this organisation is dedicated to making the world a better place and has approached us for a partnership opportunity because we are both organisations seeking a similar end goal. ACI’s Executive Director, Peter Osei said in an email to us recently, “We believe in the work you are doing, and we don’t encourage any type of discrimination. We believe in treating all individuals fairly and equally, regardless of their age, sex, sexuality, religion or race.”

We are stoked to be affiliated with Africa Change International and look forward to helping each other promote a more peaceful and understanding world in 2009 and beyond!
