 If it was just me experiencing this, I would maybe not even talk about it since I'll consider it an exception but it strangely happened with many people complaining about the same thing and you might have experienced it as well. We are 15 bloggers for CIVICUS, who have been granted full bursaries to attend the World Assembly in Canada.  Some of us had their visas either rejected once and twice or not issued on time because of long and annoying procedures.

CIVICUS has been one of the lifetime experiences to get my voice be heard widely and tell the people all over the world about my thoughts, beliefs and critics... because I believe my voice matters like YOUR voice and everyone's voice. I started by organizing a panel in which I will bring people from different backgrounds, speaking different languages, holding different ideologies and visions to talk about Youth Mobilization through Social Media, from their personal experiences. I finally succeeded to gather four amazing youth voices from Egypt, Yemen, Belarus and North Carolina . My panel is entitled Youth, Social Media and Mobilization.
