TakingITGlobal Rocks the Cantina
Last night I joined the TakingITGlobal posse for a party at the La Latina Cafe in Berges du Lac, just north of Tunis. It was quite funny eating couscous and other Tunisian food in a Mexican-themed restaurant while Ricky Martin and Tito Puente played on a flat-panel screen in the background. It was a wonderful evening, with around 100 TIGers, plus lotsa folks from Telecentre.org and the British Council. We all had three reasons to celebrate - TIG's 5th anniversary, DDN's move to TIG, and the launch of Telecentre.org. TIGer and musical virtuoso played guitar, premiering a song about the Youth Caucus the previous night. Everyone was singing along by the final verse.
I've gotta hand it to them - the Youth Caucus is one extraordinary bunch. These guys and gals have been working on WSIS since some of them were in high school. If someone was taking bets, I'd put money on having at least one person in that room being a head of state some day.... -andy
