Emerging Africa

I'm going to be going to this on Fri and Sat morning, and thought many of you guys up in JHB would be interested in it.

Nation Building Forum, Gauteng

Nation Building is a forum of men and women from all sectors of society who have begun to work together with a common vision of transforming our cities and our nation.

Strategic alliances have been formed by churchs, government bodies, the private sector, NGO's and the social sector with a focus on orphans, widows, the poor, AIDS, education, government, health care, arts and business. Many of these groups have been hard at work with initiatives which are resulting in transformation and represent models that can easily be multiplied across the country.

The purpose of this time is to highlight the vision and further facilitate the networking of the different sectors to effectively bring about change in our nation.
