非洲欢庆月
非洲发展新伙伴关系组织主要目的在于团结所有非洲国家，共同应对地区冲突，贫穷以及种族隔离等问题。
基于这种理念，他们己经宣布五月为“欢庆月”。在这个月，非洲鼓励全世界非洲人民共同庆祝一个独特的富有神奇、秘史、奇迹以及自然财富的非洲。
贯穿整个五月，将会举行多种多样的庆祝非洲文化遗产的活动，而且以此为契机，形成比如消灭男人、女人以及儿童在非洲社会里不平等的意识观念。
五月底，在南非首都普利托利亚的国家文化馆里此次“欢庆月”将会以一场文化讨论的专题活动而告终。非洲的各国广播媒体人将大量广泛地播出以突出非洲困境的节目，并且同时欢庆这块大陆所取得的巨大成就和一个个里程碑事件。
在非洲我们会感慨所发生的很多事情。特别是南非这里，我们正在欢庆第四届民主选举，共同努力抚平过去的创伤。作为南非人，我们有如此多需要感激的以及需要我们去努力完成的。这里，穷人与富人之间有着很明显的界限。
