The African Wind

Wind is an acronym for WAYS of INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT. The winds of change are blowing; blowing as gently as a breeze and as fiercely as a tornado. Africa stand up on your feet and harness the benefits.

Africa is a beautiful continent. It is blessed with fertile soils, breathtaking landscapes, tonnes of minerals, priceless flora and fauna and most of all irreplaceable human capacity. Africa has a great deal of potential to feed her children, improve the standards of living of her people bring about sustainable development.

The lyrics to a soundtrack from one of the many "Jungle Book" movies says, "Take good care of nature and it will take good care of you..." That is what ought to be done. We should love, respect and take care of this continent. It sustains us. It sustained our forefathers and we would like it to sustain our children.

Rise up Africa. Let us not sit back and watch the world pass us by.
