[Tran Dinh Hoanh]

Dear CACC,

Our sister Dang Thu Huong hdangthu at gmail.com  has been selected to attend
the 2007 CIVICUS Youth Assembly in Glasgow, Scotland this month, May 23-27,
2007.

CIVICUS World Assembly  http://www.civicusassembly.org/  is a forum for
international civil society representatives to get together, exchange ideas,
experiences and build strategies for a just world.

Here is some thing from CIVIUS website:  The next two World Assemblies will
be held in Glasgow and will follow the common theme: "Acting Together for a
Just World " a theme inspired by events leading up to the G8 Summit, which
showed both the massive global commitment from ordinary citizens for a
better and more just world, and the absolute necessity of continuing the
struggle to achieve it.This theme will be explored through the central focus
theme: "Accountability : Delivering Results". CIVICUS recognises that
transparency and accountability are essential to good governance and the
achievement of a 'Just World'

About CIVICUS Youth Assembly:

Following outcomes from the 2006 CIVICUS World Assembly, it was clear that
there was a need for an international youth-led forum for debate and
dialogue on issues from the perspective of young people that will feed into
and inform the debate at future World Assemblies.

Working in Partnership, Oxfam in Scotland and the Scottish Youth Parliament
combined forces to set up a new initiative to develop a youth led education
programme focusing on political, economic and social justice issues

And the theme of Civicus youth assembly for this year is "*Accountability to
the future generation".* CYA select 150 delegates from 90 countries over the
world this year. And many of them are from the developing  country like VN.
Congratualtions, Thu Huong.  Since day 1 in this family, you have shown
great leadership and initiatives.  You make us happy and proud.  Enjoy the
trip, sister.  And tell us all about it afterward.

Great day, THu Huong and all.

Hoanh
