My Desert Experience


On the 31st of August l left lagos Nigeria for Sham el Sheik for the International Youth Conference and the first thing that struck me about egyptians is their jovial nature.

Right from the crew members of Egypt air in Nigeria to the ones in cairo it was a beautiful encounter all through which is quite contrary to what l use to believ about arab countries.


The passion and desert experience shows the beauty and the natural force associated with the desert and its people which shares a similar attribute with young people around the world.

l was extremly glad when it was announced that l was the prize winner for the Cyber Peace Contest Theme: Youth Dialogue. I owe the Susan Mubarak International Women's Peace Movement my beautiful wide screen Laptop which was the 1st prize.l felt like Alice in Wonderland yesterday...so many pictures and interviews by various media oganisation at the conference.

Today's experience at the youth and media session where we examined the topic 'Is the Media Youth Friendly' showed very clearly that young people have a lot of work to do to change and reverse the current distructive trend around the world

Young people can create majic and l hope that when I represent Africa at teh plenary closing ceremony I would be able to shed that enthusiastic light on the majic that young people have.

I love everything I have seen of Egypt
