Dear Edwin:

(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I below), in response to the Reference (a) above.

(2) It would be tremendous if the high-speed wireless Internet as the extension of GLORIAD/ACE to remote/rural areas in African countries would help the skills acquisition and capacity building training programs for Malaria eradication — in addition to the same for bureaucrats and future leaders with scientific and rational approach on their policy analysis/evaluation as of our GEWS project.

Such an extension of GLORIAD/ACE to remote/rural areas in African countries may be done along the construction of high speed traffic roads among sub-Saharan African countries with the USD $4 billion pledged by the Japanese government at the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD-IV) in Yokohama, Japan in 2008 — the next of which (TICAD-V) is to be held in the coming June 1 to 3  to be organized with the Japanese government and UN, World Bank, UNDP and AUC <http://tinyurl.com/ah62ccx>.

Edwin: You may be interested in attending this conference.


Dear Tapio:

      Thanks a million Tak,
       
        For the interesting news concerning ECOWAS nation focused video-conferencing on April 18, 2013.
        Many thanks also for your congratulatory message to UNESCO Prof. Tapio Varis in Finnland for his
       outstanding achievement award.

   Last week, I signed an agreement with the European Vaccine Initaitive in Germany focused on the elimination of Malaria in Africa, using Vaccine becuase counter-Malaria drugs continue to show resistance to Malaria falciparium, the most devasting specie responsible for millions of death in Africa and world-wide.
 
 The biggest challenge in this ambitious plan is the inadequate, qualitative and quantitative human resource skilled manpower needed to implement the operation.

Therefore, Youths education involving skills acquisition and capacity building training programs linked to GUS, ICT education enabling technical platform will be extremely useful also for the Malaria elimination project.

To take things to the next level, I am proposing that GUS join in restorative programs coming up soon within the framework of a `Post 2015 United Nations plan to achieve its MDG goals initially targeted for 2015 but falied becuase of reasons, some of which I will present during the  April 18, Video-conference.

The World Bank has set up a Collaborative Action for Develeopment Committee.
We will be joining this platform to bring in, in-puts for positive impacting difference in global development .

 In all of this, flexible access to accelerated communication modality provided by GUS  broadband technology  is the central enabling vehicle.     

 My plan is therefore, to begin immediately after the ECOWAS Video-conference , an extended collaborative platform which will make GUS, a key player in fast-tracked global development programs within the United Nations, the World Bank, President Obama , European Union as well as the Japan Government drive for visible and palpable development.


   Please stay in touch.

United Nations Global Financial and Economic Crisis Summit
Conference Theme: Impact and implications of the global financial and economic crisis on sustainable development & climate change proposals for an integrated global response to the crisis.
 
Date: February 27th - 2nd March, 2013
Venue: International Convention Centre London, United Kingdom.

 
The Global University System, Education and the Impact and implications of the global financial and economic crisis on sustainable development & climate change

 
The present crises requires fundamental new ways of dealing with education. If a truly global knowledge society is to be created, more attention should be given to the diversity of cultures and the co-existence of different civilizations and cultures. Global University System (GUS) brings technology to the agenda of global education. GUS is to launch a trans-cultural, global-wide initiative (using modern techniques of communication) to promote the kinds of global education that will advance peace, justice, understanding, and human wisdom.  The GUS seeks to encourage a sense of transnational identity, a feeling of global community, which is necessary for the survival, creative growth and constructive transformation of our species.
 
The Global University System (GUS) is a worldwide initiative to create satellite/wireless telecommunications infrastructure and educational programs for access to educational resources across national and cultural boundaries for global peace.  The GUS helps higher educational institutions in remote/rural areas of developing countries to deploy broadband Internet in order for them to close the digital divide and act as the knowledge center of their community for the eradication of poverty and isolation.  The GUS has task forces working in the major regions of the globe with partnerships of higher education and healthcare institutions.  Learners in these regions will be able to take their courses, via advanced broadband Internet, from member institutions around the world to receive a GUS degree.  These learners and their professors from participating institutions will form a global forum for exchange of ideas and information and for conducting collaborative research and development.  The aim is to achieve "education and healthcare for all," anywhere, anytime and at any pace.
 
For this purpose a Global Lecture Hall (GLH) TM multipoint-to-multipoint, multimedia, interactive videoconferencing will be held during our conference at the Stevens Institute of Technology in the morning of April 18th. Colleagues of our Global Early Warning System (GEWS) project for the selected Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) in the west coast of African continent will participate.
