North Carolina and Kenya

I do not know this person, but it seemed to be worth adding here. He seems to have done some very good things and I will try to reach him.

"Success in Haiti - one program at a time"

"Success in Haiti - one program at a time"

This article from the Christian Science Monitor, dealing with a successful program in Haiti, may be of interest to the Sagam community.

Investment Policy Review

Investment Policy Review

This is an advance copy of the UNCTAD - United Nations Conference on Trade and Development - report on Kenya.

When I see something like this 126 page report, I wonder how all of us can do a better job of relating it to Sagam. Surely, there must be a way to make this more relevant and meaningful? And, most important, a way for the Sagam community, constructively, to voice its various opinions.

There is no easy way to solve this problem, but the technology is at least making it easier to get to material like this and to share it with others. Now we need to learn better how to offer our views to people who are willing to listen. That is a challenge every community in the world now faces, and few are better positioned than is Sagam to show the world how to make it happen!

"The Millennium Villages - A New Approach to Fighting Poverty in Africa"

"The Millennium Villages - A New Approach to Fighting Poverty in Africa"

This may be of interest to the Sagam community. It may be worth considering how Sagam can better compare itself with Sauri. There is no reason for one village to get all the attention!
