    3 I would like to know what you see as next step now you've met lord sainsbury's daughter in UK

    4 have chinese youth network (whose leader would love to chat to you) ready to search out why university education is failing them on jobs creation too- interestingly this is the only useful thing from week 1 ot the coursera change the world- the majority of the 40000 students are non-english as first language and mad as hell the professor advertised this as a practice curriculum from the un foundation summit in new york last september but started with 2 hours of high intellectual conversation that was impossible to even begin to follow unless english was your mother tongue

    5 this is time of year when the french convergences summit plans its 5000 event in september - really need to find out whether emmanuel faber wants to reconnect yunus youth and post 2015 summits

    1 thursday -king and tebabu and teams of Sylvia's and CC launched awareness of Blessed Coffee end to end diasora model to 50 youth at Uni of DC - its the best end to end model I have ever seen presented in DC; it aims to impact 10 million people in Ethiopia and there is no reason why any diaspora group with end to end contacts could choose a similar size populace to impact ; i think it may also winwin with your daughter's jewelry model and potentially many makerfaire models
    1a saturday founder of A in japan would love to chat to you - he has got involved in trying to help organise the g20y but would like to understand experience of other youth summits; he's also done a lot in cape town so wants to help link both Nobel Cape Oct 2014 and Atlanta Nov 2015
    1b in terms of branding youth jobs twin capital summits as more valuable than olympics I am stuck until I know what involvement monica yunus www.singforhope.org wants - can you get through to her or do I have to go gatecrash her event next wednesday in new york -not meeting monica is only thing stopping my media experts from searching which fortune 500 clients want to promote youth job creation
