[DC] For tomorrow

[Amali De Silva - Mitchell]

Dear DCs

I will not be able to join you at 4am my time, for our call. Hence I write
a brief message to all of you.

In recent months due to the high sovereign debt loads of typical aid
donating nations and their own priorites, there is a cut back to
traditional international aid to developing nations. We need to hence,
encourage an environment of  local volunteerism of donated time and
resources, to get icts developed for the future, at the local level
ecosystems  This may include AI projects.

I know myself first hand that this can be an effective approach for
building local ict capacities. For universal health and wellness for all,
SDG3, we need to develop access and relevant icts fast, before we have
another global  pandemic.

Please support me in encouraging an environment of ict development by
volunteerism in your sectors, so that people can see what can be achieved
by people together for All, in Goodwill. Social entrepreneurship is what is
required to make the SDGs happen, in conservative fiscal times.

Kind regards,
Amali De Silva-Mitchell
