    With the level of job experience desired for the above positons, the organisation may end up with mediocres. Interest,then quality of service should be the main Issue. From my Understanding Actionaid as a Non Governmental Organization aim at sanitizing the society against poverty and injustice not level of experience. Its about ideas and energy to achieve this objectives and I tell you, the young graduate will give more if opportuned.
    Now, on my way to send this message, a police man stopped a car and after a brief argument began to rain insult on him. He even went as far as saying " you are stupid, and nothing you can do about that". I was so agreived that it felt as if it was directed to me. so tell me who can give Actionaid more, the man with 30 years experience or that with the interest sanitize an unusual society?
