WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR WORLD TODAY?

Please feel free to express yourself? We have just been joined by a Sociology Major going for his Professors Title and he will be coming up with an evaluation questionnaire so that we are able to track our successes and our losses in this work to educate not incarcerate those who have passed through Bajito Onda's Global Doors. I figure over the years i have worked with thousands of persons and you may be one of them. If you are, please let me know how your life has been affected by my work and my dedication to this work. I am the first life Bajito Onda turned around so it is very important to me to share the love with others in hopes they will get something out of it and also change their life before they end up like i did, in prison or even worse off. Its winter time and some days are cold and some are not. i love all weather, even when it rains or snows it never really matters to me. i learned that when i was 'sans freedom' that even when it was a sunny day - it seemed gloomy to me inside of that razor wire. the day i was let free the air just seemed cleaner and lighter - i know it sounds crazy but that was the way i felt inside there. yesterday i was sitting here typing and i heard something rustling in the dog's bowl and i went to see what it was. it was a huge Texas style rat. it looked like a mini me possum i swear. i shooed it out of here and back into the warehouse. i tossed the dogs bowl out with it so it would not be invading my personal space. this place is like living in a terrerium (sp?). we have geckos, lizards, rats, spiders, and well this one is the killer... we even have snakes. i know, i know... it freaks me out too, but there is really nothing we can do about it until we get out of this building. and believe me that has been my goal for about the last five years. pray for us that someone helps us get out of here. i just hate it. last nite was great, we went to a Marriott Courtyard up by the Dallas North Tollway. My friend at Ballys Corporate office donated it to me and Beth. Poor Beth, she is disgusted by all this, after coming from a state (Maine) where there are very few bugs, no snakes and other mini wildlife doesn't exist in the cold weather. Also since there is only a metal roof here - there is no TV either. something we both miss and yet don't miss. I am expecting the African delegation to arrive one of these days and they really freeze coming straight from Africa to a Texas winter! It was kind of funny when my 'son' Amidu Mansaray came here the first time (only time so far). He practically sat on the gas heater the whole time... finally after three weeks he started adjusting to it and then he had to return to get the chapters in Africa started. He has done such a great job. I"m so proud of him.
Well that's all for tonite... Take care of yourself and thanks for stopping by. Leave your info so we can get you to take the questionnaire (its not personal) its about your life - even if you never met us before... you are important to our future works for kids and communities. God Bless, - Del
