Friends-

The space below is the locus of our exciting post-Kimeeza projects (including Gomo Tong, Project Namwuongo Zone Bs, Campus Events, ect...) Check back for updates and to learn how you can get and stay involved!

We consider the Kimeezers the life blood and center of energy for GYPA.  I truly believe that together we can do amazing things, for both ourselves as a community of globally linked, forward thinking practitioners, as well as those we aim to work with in Northern Uganda.  - Josh Goldstein

Gomo Tong (Bending the Spears) project is now underway under the leadership of Jaime Alvis Kimeeza-Alumni and  American Unviersity MA Candidate, local leaders from Uganda, and the GYPA staff.  For more information on the status of Gomo Tong contact Josh Goldstein at: josh@gypafrica.org

Stay tuned for the kick-off to Gomo Tong, "Bending the Spears Campaign" on March 25 at Staccato in Washington, D.C, where the funds raised at the door will go toward supporting the efforts of communities in Northern Uganda to maintain and sustain Gomo Tong.

We are also organizing a roundtable in the spirit of the GYPA town hall series Africa: Whatever You Thought: Think Again .  The roundtable, YOUTH ON THE BRINK: The Crisis of Citizenship in Post-Conflict Societies: Successes and Challenges will bring experts in the field on youth reintegration and reconciliation to discuss best-practices in the field on this important topic of youth community-building.   
Also of significance are the plans for Jaime Alvis to return to Uganda this summer to work on the Gomo Tong and continue to  link with the Ugandan support system in the North.   This is tentatively planned for July-August.
