Busy times

I have been very busy with a number of events lately. I have been doing lots of constituency work recently by visiting all different kinds of groups in the area ranging from youth clubs to local radio stations and task forces for relating to youth services. I have also had loads of case work on university funding and SAAS grants/loans. It can be surprising the stuff that people come to you for help with but I am always happy to help with anything.

I have also been asked to be part of a task force which is being set up by staff at Local News Glasgow (a local media outlet) which aims to raise awareness of Human Rights, or the lack of it, in The Gambia. The task force will also lobby MPs, MSPs about the current situation in The Gambia. I will keep you updated in future blogs about how the task force is getting on.

I have also been really busy with arranging our visit to Malawi. We are currently in the process of getting the last minute things done and making sure we have everything we need before we go. While we are in Malawi we will be delivering workshops on Youth Participation and Youth Democracy. This will hopefully help the Youth Council of Malawi set up it's own Youth Parliament of Malawi. We will also be visiting Schools, Hospitals and Prisons while we are in the country for 3 weeks. Again, I will keep you updated on our progress, and while I am in Malawi I hope to post a few entries.
