Hello again dear friends and family,

It is my birthday again and in lieu of gifts, dinner, or a party, I am asking again for donations to my educational fund. As many of you know I spent several years working in Africa and got to know many wonderful people. Since then many have reached out for assistance paying for school at all levels, primary (books and uniforms), secondary (high school fees), and even university and professional schools.

I am a great supporter of education and if you’re a friend I know you are as well. It is a way to create healthier societies and better lives for the next generation. Given the difficult times we are in, the cutting of USAID and defunding global assistance, this is even more critical now.

The funds are only given to people I know personally and I pay the schools directly or buy supplies they need directly.

I am asking for your help with this as financially at times I just have to say no because I can’t swing it on my own. My father's voice is loud in my head "to whom much has been given, much is expected." please consider donating so we can share a bit of the wealth in a productive way.

I really appreciate the gifts and your friendship and thoughtfulness. Thank you so much for your generous gift.

PS- Chuma, Patience, Bennie, Kwakanya and Khazimla all thank you as well.
