IL PROGETTO ELDERS

Mandela's 'Elders' will tackle global problems

Nelson Mandela will launch an initiative next week with former world leaders who have agreed to fly around the world to give advice on international crises.

The high-powered panel of “Elders” assembled by Mr Mandela includes two Nobel prize winners and two former American presidents.

The project will be launched on Wednesday in Johannesburg close to the site of the notorious Number Four prison where Mr Mandela was once held captive.

The Elders initiative fulfils his long-standing dream of harnessing the experience of former world leaders to try to find new ways to tackle long-term problems such as Aids and civil war.

It was only when he met Sir Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin empire, and Peter Gabriel, the musician and human rights campaigner, that the idea was made a reality. Jean Oelwang, who runs Virgin Unite, which co-ordinates Virgin’s charitable ventures, is to be the director of the project.

Sir Richard and Mr Gabriel will be at the launch. The Elders are Jimmy Carter, the former US president, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who won the Nobel prize in 1984 for his role in the anti-apartheid campaign, Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland, Graca Machel, Mr Mandela’s wife who was a government minister in Mozambique, Kofi Annan, the former secretary general of the United Nations, and Muhammad Yunus, the Bangladeshi economist who was awarded the Nobel prize for helping the poor.

Four more Elders will be introduced later in the year. Archbishop Tutu will chair the scheme, which is billed as a humanitarian initiative. A supporter of the project said: “Nelson Mandela has talked for a long time about doing something like this. He has had a vision of tapping into the power and influence of former world leaders.

“The Elders will look at global issues and conflict resolution. This will be their first meeting together. They will then decide what projects they wish to become involved with. We think they will be able to bring about real change.”

E con tutti st'impegni pensate ancora che trovi del tempo per rifare the lamb[:-I]?

Peter e' cosi,credo che sia anche per il fatto che,avendo un grande talento musicale,uno si renda conto che non puo' tenersi tutto per se...forse si ha una specie di riconoscenza verso la vita per tutto quel che gli ha dato e allora..non puo' chiudere gi occhi davanti alle ingiustizie sociali.


Poi lui e' molto sensibile,e buono

[:-I]

...e aggiungerei BELLO!

Infatti,Zio,pure la bellezza,e' vero!

per questo dico che quando si hanno tante qualita',come Lui,e si e' sensibili,come Lui,credo,ma lo dico cosi' per teoria personale,si pensi di dover in qualche modo restituire agli altri qualcosa[:-I]

Ecco..brava....allora restituiscimi quei 20,000 Euro che t'ho prestato a Natale!!![:-D][:-D][:-D][:-D][:D][:D][:D][;)][8:-x][:D]
