BAJITO ONDA AFRICA FOUNDATION
My sons Mao and Amidu as well Alex and Maz of Rwanda - Gathech in Kenya and Kanelli in Tanzania are all doing great jobs in establishing and running BO in African countries. We are now working and closing our network tighter with the United Nations which is really doing a great job around the world.
Mao, my dear son in Senegal writes to me in English - but yesterday he called me and his spoken english kept us from totally understanding each other - since i do not speak French. however we are managing to continue to grow the foundation no matter what obstacles we are encountering.
Amidu i hear is this week in France meeting with the UN - while son Antonio Melin in Mexico is meeting with UN officials from NY in assisting us with funding in the future via the UN Youth Caucus and other assists from UNICEF - UNESCO and other UN branches.
We are the voices of the oppressed - but we are not ignorant so therefore we have sought out each other - and banded together to change the world one country at a time - with my own being the hardest to even gain support from - the USA -
i was so surprised to hear members of the UN when i met with them in Mexico 2004 that they felt the USA had no social problems - at least they had not heard of them - because we have so much money - they thought money had fixed all our problems. HA!
Now they know the truth of America and how horrible our inner city crime is - how horrible our prisons are - and how dangerous it is to even try to live here.
I am ashamed when africans come here and i have to tell them that they cannot smile at strangers or they may become victimized. they are horrified.
They do not know what racisim is and my dear son Amidu when he was here - had never heard of Elvis. Well i didn't even go into who Elvis was. it was mute point.
I just wanted to say hi and sorry for my long absence - i will try to do better.
but with our org growing so much so fast - it is hard on me to keep everyone posted all the time.
God Bless Us all and please help us where and when and how you can.
