I found this amazing site that provides an open space for development organizations to admit and learn from past failures. In our efforts to turn ideas into realities, lets accelerate development by ensuring that we learn from failures instead of repeat them—that we are failing forward. The site allows you to search experiences by sector, professional designation, country, or organization. www.admittingfailure.com

Our Last Week and Next to Last Meeting for Spring 2012
Meeting Purpose: What can we do for this final week?
Date: April 20, 2012
Time: 9am – 11am
Since we were unable to get a media-help workshop going for this meeting we instead took the time to discuss the last steps to take for projects we have been working on and also took time to discuss what we would like to see run differently. Our final meeting will be next Friday and that will be the time to get updates on all of the meetings Dr. Wosinski and Osee had this week as well as to close with suggestions as to what changes should go about to help the executive team run more effectively.

Now more than ever I am steadfast in the sad reality that many countries will not attain their goals by 2015, and some aren't even on track to attain the goals set for 20 15, for…
- Can MDGs be achieved…My initial opinion still remains the same. I believe for all countries will not reach the MDG's before 2015. I think some countries will develop at such slower rate compared to others. I think the expectations are much needed but achieving the MDG's is just unrealistic. There are a tremendous amount of countries that are suffering right now. …
- Can MDGs be achieved…In the beginning of the semester, I would say that I was uncertain if we would reach the millennium development goals by 2015. I was however definitely more optimistic at that time, then I was now. My confidence that these issues can be resolved though has increased. My lack of optimism has come a lot from my research of Mali. Mali currently has…
- Can MDGs be achieved…I was not aware of what the UN MDGs were before this class started. They are all incredibly important and valuable goals. Some countries are doing better in achieving the goals versus others. My country of Equatorial Guinea has shown marginal progress in achieving the goals over the past 20 years.
