At a time when we face a lot of major problems around the world, would it be environmental problems such as desertification and climatic changes, or poverty, AIDS, malaria, as well as other huge and increasing problems, we need to join our efforts. [...] We hope this Forum will provide an opportunity for you to meet other organizations, to share knowledge, experiences, to eventually develop joined projects, joined initiatives, and to learn from each other. quote
