The summit will include several educational workshops and panel discussions from youth organizers and activists in West Africa. The two-day event is a tremendous educational opportunity for youth in the United States to discover more about the life experiences and culture of youth in West Africa. </span></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">The Senegalese hosts of the summit have graciously invited youth in the United States to attend and offered to help with housing and conference expenses there on the ground. <strong>However, the costs of a plane ticket to Dakar is exceptionally high. </strong>Nuway Learning is a non-profit organization in the United States dedicated to educating and empowering young people from underserved communities. We are hosting a grassroots fundraiser to send five youth to Dakar for the summit in June. </span></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Can you help us meet our goal of raising $5,000 toward their air travel?</strong> Our belief is that a collection of small donations pooled together can make a tremendous impact. That is why we ask you to donate at least $10 here on the site. </span></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">Thank you,</span></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">Austin Thompson</span></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">Director, Nuway Learning </span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/93791474602442641-39498589957463887?l=panafricanyouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Austin Thompsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09415687405697129322noreply@blogger.com0
