Kenya - Bikundo Onyari

What is your vision of a world that works for everyone.
A world where people are participating actively to improve their lives (not necessarily to be rich) and where no nation is superior to another.

What experiences have you had working in intercultural settings?
Various and mixed experiences come to mind, but most important are that settings are different from others. There are some settings where I have been looked "suspiciously", others with respect (one of us attitude) and yet others looked as 'alien". In general my experiences have been challenging and educative.

What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?
* Poverty * HIV/AIDS * Leadership/governance * War * Unemployment

How do you feel these problems could be best solved?
* The scrapping of poor countries debts
* The enhanced approach and research of the cure of HIV/AIDS or immunization
* The participation of the people in nation building and other aspects that touches their life
* The respect of human rights by all
* Practice of fair trade.
