It’s where I am much interested in. I mean it's the only job in the world where I can sign a 'life-time' job. The United Nations Organization is the place where I keep my effort to reach, because i see it has much influence in the world. I don't know if much work has been done to bring it closer to the youths especially Africa, I like to say it clear that even the future of the United Nations power and influence lies in the hands of the present youths in the world. Therefore there is much work and funding to educate the youths about the importance of the United Nations in our present and future life. Why do I say that?
If you are youth and even if you aren't one, try to bring the topic about the United Nations in school, work or anywhere with people to comment, i bet it more than 60% will say there is nothing much than certain countries who control everything in the UN. I say this because I've been in it too much. People don't trust the UN, and it's not them to be blamed much but I argue the United Nation to educate people. I'm glad that on my own effort I tried hard to know the United Nation that on my own I was able to establish a UN Youth Club at my school, but ask me what support do I get? Its nothing, there is a country network but honestly speaking I am not sure if they do anything to spread the UN among the youths of our country to deserve praises.
I feel lucky that I know the importance of the UN, but its hurting me when i think about my other fellows, there is the 'WORLD YOUTH REPORT' latest published in 2007, it has very important issues for the youths to know but i tell you it may be 1 youth in 5000 who even heard of it in my country.. And the bad thing is that we have youth delegates to the United Nations youth summits which takes place yearly at the UN Headquarters in New York, I call it bad because there is nothing that they do to spread what they discussed or even introduce the United Nations to Youth of our country.
I finish by emphasizing, THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRIES, OUR PLANET,OUR PEACE LIES IN THE HANDS OF THE YOUTHS!
NB; I want to hear from you!
