My speech in Stavanger

Ok I am back. First I will write about Norway. In September I went to Norway because I was invited for a conference I met other guys from Norway, South Africa, Guatemala, Birma, Thailand. Together with them there was also me from zambia. So we had 7 countries all together and the guy from South Africa did a performance in the University of Stavanger. It was really fun I enjoyed it very much. I felt at home with my fellow Africans performing.

The most important day that we had was when I was reading the speech. We went to attend the University. Topics we discussed was about the MDG’s, conflict resolutions and children’s rights. I gave a very nice speech and everyone liked it. The speech I gave was about how to stop war in countries because the children are affected most. Because they than don’t have shelter if they don’t have someone to take care of them anymore. They end up on the streets. Also I spoke about children’s rights, mostly the right to education. Because I think it is the key right to a child for a better future. And every child is a child wheter in the east, in the west, in the north or south. It is still a child. And every child has the right to live and that is the right for life.

Together with me there was an international student from Asia. She also gave a speech. We were the two guests of honour, me and her.

Hello Thandiwe,
I am impressed that at such a young age you realise the importance of education in eliminating poverty from the world.
I know little of Zambia, but since a friend of mine told me a something about it, I am busy gathering information.
Would you mind if I sent a question to you from time to time?

Hi Thandiwe,
I'm from Indonesia. Developing country same as yours. We're leaving under democratic government but schools are so expensive. I have two kids. Named Oktha & Yoga, both male. They're in 4th grade & 3rd grade elementary school.
We wish that education is free. Excellent education not the poor education. Education for supporting our next generation for better world. World with peace.
