Day two: Sion & Fribourg!

waking up this Tuesday morning from the comfort of my warm bed in Lausanne would have been a very difficult task considering the fact that I made a late evening presentation at the Geneva University the previous day and returned home almost 12 midnight. But the thought of having a repeat of the 3hour bike runs round Geneva yesterday collecting signatures for the "Demand for Dignity Campaign" and especially visits to all sHELL's  gas station, gave me a renewed vigor, and I was not dissappointed.

The tireless Aurelie, Marlyse and other Amnesty team members took me up from the hotel by 8:20am and off to Sion where we made presentation to a wonderful set of young future leaders and company CEOs who by my interraction with them, will never behave like Peter Voser. Like previous meetings, the positive attention we got, can only be imagined. We then left to collect signatures from the different city centres with visited on bike.

The Caravan later moved to Fribourg where we already have a full house. We have just finised dinner and Marlyse has signal me to get set for another presentation which may look like what we had at Geneva yesterday. I am out just to do that and off again tomorrow. I  am getting more interested in this campaign and the already embarrashed Nigeria governement and the multinational oil companies must hear this! (Celestine)

Eine kleine Anekdote zum nigerianischen Essen im Centre Fries: Während seiner Speach merkte Celestine an, dass dieses seltsame, lange grüne Gemüse, welche die Hochschulgruppe in den Reis geschnetztelt hatte, in Nigeria lediglich als Suppenbeilage gebraucht werde.. Naja, Rezeptbücher können auch lügen! :) (Julia)
