I am for action not for talking a lot about emotions:

we are conducting a climate change petition to the COP15 Summit,we had different options of ensuring that the petition was delivered which was either giving it to our Ugandan delegation or sending it by mail. Much as both the two alternatives could work,i realised it could be much better if we are to hand the petition over we should as well use this opportunity to recruit as many young people as possible and this could be achieved if we became an example to them by bringing them together and organising something perticipative in nature. Thus i believe if we can organise a small function to hand over our petition coupled with presentations of drama,poems and all sorts of edutainament events plus a match and planting trees could help since personal participation could help in changing negative perceptions to building an army of young people capable to spread the struggle.
