The African drum heralds the beginning of something new, something
different, the start of a change.It accompanies the birth of a new
day,the sart of a war, the beautiful birth of a new born child, the
dance of courtship, celebrating the merging of man and maiden a
herald of the future.
As our drums begin to roll this day, i ask that we all give of
ourselves, constructively, with criticism and solid ideas but not to
go down the path of destructive disagreement.WE roll the drums and
draw upon our diversity to weave the beautiful fabric, our part to
the cause of the WSIS Youth across the globe.
Let the drums Roll, We raise the standards of the issues we are
finding solutions and plans of action for.
