In nepalese context its most talked but un-noticed topic so it would be very intresting among youths.and i doubt the answer differs between locality so cant we faciliate this session in more than one place?and i think we should carry it as campaign.
Hi !
Thanks for your comment! Absolutely you can organise to faciliate in different locations and this is certainly the first stage in the campaign! Looking forward to seeing responses from Nepal! You can register the Meet on MDGs through email to apynmdgs@gmail.com and provide the responses, or views of young people through this form
I am Okka Phyo Maung from Myanmar. I am a current one of the community workers in Myanmar. I just got the mail from Myanmar Youth Network in Myanmar. According to my volunteering experiences, being a volunteer is really hard for us. But for some people who want to serve community is totally fine for them. Every obstacle that they faced become doesn’t matter for them. Therefore, it is not strange to be a volunteer to be a ‘Meet on MDGs’ Facilitator!”
However, I still have “Wh” question in my mind. When? Where? Why?. In this website, I can read everything that i want to read. But in the home page, we can’t see the clear data for this volunteering. In Myanmar, we can’t search the website very well according to extremely slow connection. For those people like me, only the perfect home page can solve the problem.
Hi,
This is great for our subcontinent like Nepal as many people are under illitrate and under poverty. We look forward for the idea and suggestion if we can carry out this in Nepal

Hi Jyoti!
This is all about talking with your friends, so you can speak with people you know about the issues. Our suggestion – start small and start a conversation!
thanks!
Dear Okka Phyo Maung, thanks so much for your comment and suggestion! We’ll do our best to update the homepage. Where possible we try to circulate links directly to the information also but will definately keep your great feedback and suggestions in mind! Thank you!
Also, please everyone remember to be safe first.

Hello everyone! I learnt about the ‘Meet on MDGs’ just today. I am really interested to see the various youth responses on the topic.

Hi Tanzina! Great and welcome! It’s not too late for you to add your views as an individual here: http://www.apyouth.net/2010/09/yourmdgideas/
Please do! The Youth Campaign Team on MDGs will collate all the responses and share next steps for the campaign so keep an eye on APYN online spaces!
We were doing some research and came across this website. Must say that this info is what I was searching for! Keep up the good info. I will be reading your sites
Hi apyn!
I, along with my fellow UNYSAB (United Nations Youth and Students Association of Bangladesh)volunteers, have arranged for a meeting that is to be held day after tomorrow (23rd September)at our campus. After our discussion,I will submit the cumulative reviews here.
