Laszlo Szabo said… - Hi Shakeel,
How goes it with you?
just wanted to share a story about youth and media.
two guys I've worked with in the past are working with the indigenous youth of Palm Island , hip-hop and video - I've just put up one of their YouTube clips on my page
something I read in the ASK charter on the website made me think of this video and so I thought I'd pay it forward,
Cheers,
Laszlo

- Hiya Shakeel,
Just finished a year long project "Sudan To Tamworth" - conversations with Sudanese immigrants, especially young men, living and working in a country town in New South Wales called Tamworth - check out a sample of the video which has Sudanese Rappers TLB Click closing out the film - http://vimeo.com/9493583
For more information go to http://sovenmedia.net
I work mostly with people on the other side of the digital divide - a lot of projects over the last 8 years with marginalised & dissaffected youth - working now on multi platform - video, music, photography, text for online delivery - for community with community.
Checked out ASK - we're working in the same spheres it seems
Cheers my brother

- Hi! Thank you very much for adding me sir! I am very new here & doesn't know what to do yet. This is a great site I discovered through a cousin just 2 days ago. I would like to think this one great opportunity for me to once again get involved, get loose of my inner desire for a better world & learn from everybody in this site. I know I am too small, but in this lifetime, I really wanna do something, I really wanna help, I really wanna make a difference!

Steven Wyttree said… - Shakeel, I am now working on a entire seminar on the subject. The video is just a small piece of the full picture. I should be ready in a few months with the seminar but till then I will post some articles on the subject as I can. I looked at your profile and you would gain a great deal of insight and tools from what I have. I would gladly share it with you for free cause you have the passion for helping build a better future and the information is much to valuable to put a price tag on. Keep in touch, Steve
