ZIMBABWE:A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE
 

The world and more especially the people of Zimbabwe are sitting on a time bomb waiting to explode anytime soon. “Power” in every form is a very useful tool but when used wrongly or found in the wrong hands can lead to disastrous consequence.

The people of Zimbabwe have no leader; the results from elections held a couple of weeks ago have not been released and this is causing great uneasiness amongst the people of Zimbabwe who will become victims of events when the undesirable war breaks out.

This is a Campaign; calling on all Commonwealth citizens especially the youth to sign-on and add their voice to the many calling for Robert Mugabe to release the results and stand down for a new beginning in Zimbabwe.

This campaign runs till the end of April and we are hoping to receive a million signatures and comments in support of the new Zimbabwe.

IS THE COMMONWEALTH FAILING ITS YOUTH?
 
More than half of the population of Commonwealth Nations are made up of the youth.Two -thirds of the Commoonwealth of Nations are developing or underdeveloped countries with their youth facing the most deprived conditions for thier development.

Under these conditions they cannot say they are part of a "common"-wealth of youth!For the Commonwealth to enjoy a better future the needs of the youth need to be cosnsidered and met at various levels;educaton,research opportunities,technical-knowledge sharing opportunities and financial assistance for small and medium enterprise development.

YOCOMM-YOUNG COMMONWEALTH is leading the way,however further assistance will be much apppreciated

Valentine History
 
Every February across the country candy flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentines Day and its patron saint is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine Day as we know it today contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So ho was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus all of whom were martyred.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families he outlawed marriage for young men his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine realizing the injustice of the decree defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentines actions were discovered Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend Valentine actually sent the first valentine reeting himself. While in prison it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl who may have been his jailors daughter who visited him during his confinement. Before his death it is alleged that he wrote her a letter which he signed From your Valentine an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic heroic and most importantly romantic figure. Its no surprise that by the Middle Ages lentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.
