BAJITOBLOG

BajitoBlog is a collection of writings from within my personal life and my work to build a better underground society for all members of the community who do not necessarily fit in with mainstream standards, lifestyles, behavior, etc. I believe we can be our own person, a good and peaceful person without having to conform to mainstream society. In the words of Albert Einstein, my cerebral hero, 'Del you are on the right track' - don't ever let nobody get you down...'

Some people think i live a fascinating life although i strive to be as humble as i can. but i found that if i ever give it all up - many people would be let down and many people would give up their own personal struggle if they ever see me give up or quit. believe me i have wanted to quit my work a million times and secretly i did. i would say 'no more of this' i'm going to sneak away and start myself a new life like other people have in the real world. then i would get a letter from a kid i never even met or an inmate somewhere i didn't even know and they would tell me how wonderful it was that i was doing so much for others and because of my struggle they had turned their lives around. man i hated those letters i would say to myself MAN! I hate it! i have not gotten five minutes into my new free from the struggle life and yet if i ever did leave it - these two lives may not have ever felt some love in their lives. life is so good when you let go and let God. it took me so many years of fighting to let go and let God rule in my world. Now i just follow Him and my life is so simple i can actually say i enjoy it! :)

BAJITO ONDA AFRICA - AMIDU MANSARAY

I have the sweetest son i never imagined having. He is a chip off the old block. He is from The Gambia African Continent as it is called. We met on the internet about a year and a half ago. He calls me Mum which i think is funny and cool at the same time. He is a great young man of around 27 or 28 who is making an incredible contribution to humanity in Africa as well as other countries and continents. He has been here to the US last year for only three weeks and although it took us almost that time to learn to communicate and bond and trust each other - we finally achieved our goal of 'taking the first global step' together the day before he left the US. He now has founded chapters of Bajito Onda in countries in Africa such as Senegal, Dakar, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, where he was born. When i went to the U.N. Habitat for Safer Cities in Mexico in October I met Nydia Baba from Senegal who now is co-director. In the country of Kenya I have appointed Gathecha to establish our strong country ties there in that country. In Tanzania, an incredible woman i met in Mexico is Kaenelli and she is now director of Bajito Onda Tanzania Africa. all are countries I would like to visit one of these days. i feel i may be extended a formal diplomatic invitation to either Senegal or Kenya very shortly and i intend to go there to establish chapters of operating social programmes under the direction of myself and that country's leader along with the guidance of Amidu Mansaray...

i am getting very excited about the progress in Africa. Since working with the always smiling and equally wonderful Juma Assiago of Nairobi, Kenya who is the world director of the U N Habitat I am now understanding much better how the whole world is able to work in tandem and support peoples and children everywhere in their struggle to be heard and seen in society.
