Dear Friends, Under the Theme “GOD BLESS THE WOMEN” Nätverk för Afrikaner i Vantör-NAV(www.navs.se) & the Newly formed Africa Nordic Economic Association (ANEA) are arranging a multipurpose concert On 29 November 2008,aimed at raising awareness and funds for the economic empowerment of women and youths in Africa.
Before the concert begins at 20.00 hrs on the same day, ANEA shall have a members general meeting that will take place at 17.00-20.00 hrs at the RÅGSVED Folketshus. The aims and objectives and the progress of ANEA shall be clarified as well as the structuring proposal of the organization discussed. ANEA shall as well use the occasion to register new members. Confirmation of old members and registering new members shall be part of the meeting.
I take this opportunity to officially invite you to attend both the meeting and the concert. I as well request you to extend this invitation to all members of your community and all friends of Africa in Sweden .
The occasion is as well dedicated to the memory of Lucky Dube who among other songs he sang “GOD BLESS THE WOMEN” for their contribution in sustaining the welfare of Africans in all difficult times, Lucky Dubes call for the recognition of women and their empowerment remains inspirational. That is why Africans in Sweden that appreciate his call have decided to make an annual memorial event and dedicate it to the empowerment of women and youth a mission Lucky Dube left in our hands.
It will also be an occasion for Africans to celebrate the new African great hero Barrack Obama as our consolation and new achievement. Even if he may not be the president of the United States of America Obama has already contributed allot to changing the negative picture, disrespect and prejudice against Africans.
The meeting is free but the concert will cost 120 kronor, proceeds from the fund raising concert will go to the micro finance fund ANEA is putting together for African women and youths.
Best Regards,
Samson Mande
Secretary – ANEA
