   âYou are educating a generation of young people who know that they 
are
Africa, not just Nigeria, Zimbabwe or Congo. If any part of the 
continent of
   Africa is going to make it, every part has to make it.â âHuman 
rights
  activist Nontombi Naomi Tutu speaking to supporters of Africa 
University.

University a symbol of what Africa should be

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS)âAfrica University says something about God,
   according to Nontombi Naomi Tutu, a human rights activist and the 
daughter
   of Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu. âWhen people are raising 
their
   hands and asking, âWhere is our dream?â Africa University says to 
the people
   of Zimbabwe and Africa that a functioning institution is not 
simply a
   possibility here; it is a reality,â Tutu said.

Road trip with a side of service

   PHILADELPHIA (UMNS)âOne of the most significant parts of the 
âAmerican
   Dreamâ is taking the big cross-country road trip. Just hopping in 
the car
   and driving, seeing all this country has to offer, sleeping in the 
car,
   eating at roadside diners and building friendships evokes the 
romance of the
   open road. That dream doesnât usually involve making the trip on 
bicycles.
   Or building houses, for that matter. Unless you belong to Bike & 
Build.

   GENEVA (UMNS) â The World Council of Churches is inviting 
Christians to
   observe the International Day of Prayer for Peace, Sept. 21, with 
prayers
   and liturgies and special attention to peace projects in Africa.
