Recently our youth bureau headed by our youth leaders, Sibiri Mariko and Salif Tigana, launched a new project. They created a short video showing Yeah's biography and all the things Yeah has done for Mali. The great thing about this video is that it is transferable by phones. 3 out 5 Malians possess a phone, if not more. This will allow the transfer of this video and in essence, create a ripple effect throughout the country of Mali. When one individual receives this video, he or she will likely forward it to at least 10-15 friends. We have over 5000 active youth leaders situated in the 8 regions throughout Mali. As each of them sent this message to at least 15 of their friends, 75,000 people viewed this video. Even if each of them only shared it with 5 friends, Yeah’s message would reach nearly 375,000 people. All in a matter of days, even hours.

In addition, our youth bureau is going full steam ahead by showing this video on projectors during the nights and on computers and notebooks during the day in all the communes in Bamako, the capital city.  We hope to spread to the rural regions as well with the video, but given that this video is transferable, we can just simply send this to our section leaders in the different rural towns and have them show it and spread it among their communities.

The youth know what they want and they are not afraid to think outside the box to make it happen. The youth are passionate, excited, and will stop at nothing to make Yeah the next president of Mali.
 
Support is growing rapidly in Mali. Have you seen the PACP Mali Facebook Page? “Like” it for close-to-home updates on the campaign in Mali (it may be in French, but we can all understand the universal language of an image).

 

We are making leaps and bounds campaigning in the far corners of Mali.  As the elections draw closer, we need to increase the meetings in distant villages to ensure that all voters in Mali can make an informed choice.
 
As our youth and supporters continue to spread the word throughout Mali, they need the resources to share this message. Realistically, Yeah cannot travel to every village (often at least 4-10 hours away) to share his vision. They would like to use tablets (like the Samsung Galaxy 7.0) to download the videos and take them around to the rural villages to share the message of hope and change. A tablet costs about $200. Invest $200 today to help PACP spread the word to every corner of Mali.
