Dhubad. Posted June 27, 2007 On 8th of July, 2007, between 14:00 to 21:00, Markabley Relief & Development Trust (MRDT), and Somali Capacity Building Initiatives (SCBI), with the help of SDF and SOAS Somali Society will unlock to advance the cause of augmenting higher education, above-all, establishing and implementing University of Gedo, Somalia. Through the educational programs carried out in Somalia by HIRDA, IQRA, MRDT and other associations, we have seen many lives changed for the better and subsequently, MRDT, SOAS Somali Society and SCBI are now more enthused and have the will to enhance fundraising for the creation of University of Gedo. Through the achievements from HIRDA, IQRA, MRDT and others, we are now better off and aiming different priorities, such as the aspirations of higher education systems, hence, each and every person affected by this setback of lack of proper education for such a long time has reasons to hope, because with our help, huge advances could be made to reverse issue for the greater good. As a result, MRDT & SCBI, along with HIRDA, IQRA, SDF and others persist to work-for, help, and make differences in the lives of their brethren Somalis. Today, through your big-heartedness you can make an immediate difference in the life of a person(s), man or woman, and for the reason that hope; we can count on you to take a lion share and attend the conference at July 8th 2007 at Brunei Lecture Theatre, SOAS University. ---- London: Kulan Deeq loogu ururinayo Jaamacadda Gedo Waxaa dhamaan jaaliyadda Soomaaliyeed ee ku nool dalka Ingriiska gaar ahaan magaalada London, aan si xushamad iyo qadarin leh ugu wargalinaynaa in 8-dda Bisha Luuliyo, saacadda 1pm ilaa 9pm.

Baashi Posted June 28, 2007 Mohamed Adan Sheikh's daughter was my classmate. I'm referring to the MD. As to the topic, big ups for the organizers. Primary, secondary, vocational or even apprentice schools would have been more appropriate but as they say dream big and ya will get there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, what is more important is, it will be somewhere the students of that region can acquire high education. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even so there are plenty of other primary and secondary schools that are being built as evidenced here. After secondary schools, those students with outside support go on to Kenyan schools and those without support leave their education behind. This initiative is designed to combat both the brain drain as well as the financial concerns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacaylbaro Posted June 28, 2007 last time i visited Beled-xaawo was about ten years ago ,,, there were no schools but it was easy for some people to attend those schools in Mandheera. Good development to see that university in the area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
