 I'm Rose Molokwani from Oka Sea in a small town called Bretts in South Africa. I became so interested in joining the CBA visual meetings. It was so educative to me to share what we are doing as SDI when it comes to the issues of climate change more especially because we have been doing this work so many years but participating in these platforms encouraged me to do more because there's a lot of needs that we have to address where our poor people are still lacking to get better life for themselves. The CBA was a very good platform for me. I could share with a lot of people that I did not know with a lot of people who got interested in our inputs as SDI and I'm so encouraged that more and more of our leaders from different countries are also participating on the CBA. I wish that our participation can bring positive results to our organization and more support on what we are doing on the ground more especially on women empowerment because women are the engines of life. If they can be more empowered like myself I still need to be more empowered to know how to empower other women I will be the happiest. I think the CBA should continue to have this platform because most of our leaders started to know how to talk because if they are not being given an opportunity they always say oh the leaders other leaders can do it but for now when we choose who are the participants they become so happy because they become empowered.
