This is very timely for us in Kenya.

As we speek, we have been in discussion with the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources and the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation on the same lines.

We have made some progress and this intervention comes in to strengthen what we are already doing.

Again, you must have noticed that we have involved the University Students, the Lecturers and the Clergy in The Clean Kenya Campaign. This simply proves to all that we have a road map and we surely know what we want and what we are doing.

As soon as I receive the necessary materials, I will share the same with our links. We might want to host you guys in Kenya in May 2013 for a major Forum on this subject.

Be rest assured that we at The Clean Kenya Campaign will do our part.

Lastly, who is Dr Dieulissaint? I can see that he comes from 4 Countries.

Let us all work for a Clean Kenya and a Clean Africa as a Transformative Deliverable as we turn 50.

Dear DHLAT & Global Collaborators.

Greetings. It is time to get going. With all BIOS in and the Director of Global Networking is handling production of the DHLAT manual, the rest of us need to go to work to identify the Stakeholders of their countries. We need the Names (Person or Organization, Phone Number and email address). With this we will build a database of DHLAT global circulation of the manual and more. Stakeholders for us to target are Governmental Agencies-Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education, Faithbased Educational agencies-Catholic, Presbyterian and Baptist). Other groups are WHO an UNESCO-African Regional Offices. We should have this for each country we have on the initial list below.

The Director of Planning and myself will identify every African Embassy (53) contacts in Washington DC. Furthermore, we all need to make initial contacts with our Congressmen and Senators to introduce DHLAT, especially those interested in African Affairs or serving on Caucuses that have to do with Health and Africa. I will handle the White House. Take note that DHLAT & Global Collaborators is NOT a Political Group. Our discussions with contacts should be purely professional-Health Illiteracy in Africa being the problem and our solution is Infusion of Health Education and Health Promotion as a Subject in School Curriculum from Kindergarten to High School within the framework of Comprehensive School Health Education. It is along this curricular line that we have the finished product “BluePrint for Comprehensive School Health Education in Africa”.

We should have this information ready by October 31st, so that when the manual is ready, we will hold a Conference Call to talk about it and “GET OUT” the message–Advocacy Journey truly begins at this time. We need one organization that has an African Regional Office to buy our message, or for the USA to give a stamp of approval. Or, One Country that sets the ball rolling. We have to get the message OUT first in a powerful and meaningful way. DHLAT & Global Collaborators is a powerful and credible professional group .

From the last Conference Call, Countries of First line of attack were approved.

Prof. Young moved that the countries indicated by members should be our first line of attack for the advocacy journey. That, members from these countries and volunteers to act in these countries go to work full scale to get the brochures and vision to all stakeholders (Governments, Quasi-Governmental, Non Profits, Proprietary, Civil Society, and Faith Based Institutions. Motion was seconded by Mr. Ohiri. Vote was unanimous. The countries are:

· Cameroon (Prof. Martin Ayim, Mr. Bonito, Dr. Emmanuel Ayim, Dr. Dieula Delissaint, & Dr. Joannes Paulus Yimbesalu)
· Nigeria (Mr. Ohiri, Ms Udochi, Ms Agwus, Ms Amuta, and Wura)
· Ghana(Ms Doris Glover and Ms Angela Cruz)
· South Africa (Prof Young, Ms Outley & Prof. McKyer)
· Niger (Ms Nafissatou Cisse)
· Sierra Leone(Fredanna)
· Zimbabwe ( Moleen)
· Ethiopia(Vinnette Holt)
· Angola (Joseph Goes (USAID)
· Kenya(Dr. Dieulissaint & Mr. Oto Odhiambo)
· Uganda(Dr. Dieulissaint)
· Central African Republic(Dr. Dieulissaint)
· Democratic Republic of Congo(Dr. Dieulissaint)

Lets get the Stakeholders Contacts. Deadline October 31.

Professionally Yours,
