"Imagine if every person in Africa saw the "Africa for Norway" video and this was the only information they ever got about Norway. What would they think about Norway?

If we say Africa, what do you think about? Hunger, poverty, crime or AIDS? No wonder, because in fundraising campaigns and media that's mainly what you hear about.

The truth is that there are many positive developments in African countries, and we want these to become known. We need to change the simplistic explanations of problems in Africa. We need to educate ourselves on the complex issues and get more focus on how western countries have a negative impact on Africa's development. If we want to address the problems the world is facing we need to do it based on knowledge and respect."

Laika, a Russian mongrel was the first creature sent to space - an attempt to see if living creatures could survive the unnatural environment. A Moscow stray (picked for her resilience), she was trained via long-term confinement to cages, centrifuge tests and eating gel-based food.
