			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acholi Community of Northern America (ACNA)  participated in the  UNAA 2011 Convention. The leadership made a joint forum with community supporters from the US, Canada, Europe and Africa/Uganda.  As usual there was the famous &#8216;WAN OO PA ACOLI&#8217; where heated discussions of programs, and Acholi projects being curried out by acholi professionals and groups both from the diaspora and from the land.  The Sunday forums for development through peace was another well attended discussion moderated by Mrs. Marcellina Otti. Several resolutions were proposed and details are shared at our sister web site  <a title="ACNA/UNAA Gathering" href="http://dev.acholicommunityusa.org/?page_id=49" target="_blank">http://dev.acholicommunityusa.org </a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In all ACNA has continued to build relationship to develop UNAA/ACNA partnership, and in developing avenues for economic development and peace viable to all cultures of our communities in the Diasporas. ACNA calls for all cultural groups to remain united in calling all Ugandans to attend to their so needed individual cultural needs to bring respect to self and the communities.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>RT. Hon. Oulanya Jacob &#8211; Deputy Speaker Uganda Parliament Participated in ACNA Convention in San Diego, CA. In a session attended by sizable number of Acholi and Friends of the community,  Mr. Oulanya explained the importance of Unity amongst the evolving Acholi communities so that goals set forth can be realized. People  must begin to get more involve and not just to be served.  We must think with  business attitudes in order to develop Acholiland.  He emphasized the idea of readiness in order not to miss opportunities coming our way.  He encouraged his fellow Ugandans to go back home and participate in the reconstruction of the Acholiland. Below are some photos from the event.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A message from The President</p>
<p>Dear Acholi and Friends,<span> My name is Pamela Auma Lagony from Gulu Uganda. I joined Acholi Community of North America Inc (ACNA) Inc. in 2010 after relocating to San Diego from the Bay area in northern California. I saw the importance of this young organization and made a conscious decision to join and dedicate my time to fostering and developing ACNA to be a viable organization we all would like it to be. I was appointed by the Board to the position of President in that same year 2010. I must admit that after assuming this honored position, there has been challenges just like any other new organization faces. These challenges were typical for any Acholi organization all over the world. It is usually generated by our very own to do all they can to kill any organization that is working for the benefit of Acholi people. From Kacoke Madit to ACNA Acholi organizations have always faced these kind of challenges and in our case we shall persevere and prevail because </span><span>“Gang Acholi Odoko Obu.”</span><span> </span></p>
<p>I am writing this message to all of you and to assure you that the upcoming conference will be the first since relative peace has returned to our land and the people are apparently returning to their ancestral homes, but as you have been reading in the papers our people still face humongous challenges. I believe that we can at least attempt to develop some road-map for these challenges. The topics in the agenda are tailored to accomplish just that. It is now my prayer and request that you volunteer to present a topic as outlined in the program in the convention page. I am also requesting you to register early and take advantage of the discounted registration fees plus the hotel rooms are also limited at the discounted rate.</p>
<div style="max-width: 8.5in; margin: 1in;" dir="ltr">
<p>I will meet and see all of you in San Diego, California</p>
<p>Apwoyo,</p>
