Good work goals for the next 12 months:
a year is perhaps not enough time within which to effect much change - positive or negative. The question then is: how long does one need to effect the kind of changes that one envisages for a better world? The starting point, however, is a realisation that change is cumulative, that it builds momentum on the basis of small encounters and experiences. The kind of change that I would want to create in the world can thus not be measured in predertemined chunks of time. Rather, it is an accumulation of what I have done, what I am doing now, and what I will be doing in the future (short- to long-term). Building on the values of social justice, integrity, honesty. and critical resistance where necessary, I hope to see greater momentun and scope towards the political and socio-economic goals of Africa and the global South more generally, as well as making space for youth engagement through the Student Network that I helped set up with some colleagues.
