Dear All,

This conference, taking place in Uganda in February, should be of interest to a broad range of individuals and groups, esp. in Africa:  youth, nonprofits, those working to help child soldiers, those addressing HIV/AIDS and health issues, using arts and ICTs, and anyone working in microcredit.  

The host for the conference, Life in Africa Foundation, works in Kampala and Gulu, N. Uganda, and has a strong focus on youth, social enterprise, and peace. See contact and registration info below.  

Thanks and best wishes, Janet (Feldman, kaippg@earthlink.net)
