Hundreds of years ago, the father of my father's father, A Balanta B'rassa from Guinea-Bissa,u was brought to the new world to pick cotton, to***co, farm rice and sugar for the economy of the western world. In his heart was a promise to return to his land or origin, for he knew of the value of the family, and of Ubuntu ( I AM because We are and because We are, I AM)

Today I received pics and videos from our solar streetlight project in the village of N'tchude in Guinea Bissau and I'm sharing them here.

His spirit has returned and the ancestors dance!

My sincere thank you to all who have helped with this solar streetlight project. The village will be lit up tonight, the sisters and brothers can attend night school when we get that started.

I have vision of distance learning centers and one of my Balanta sisters is doing Speed School in Sierra Leone so I'm exploring that as a project also in Guinea-Bissau. We are also initiating a cashew processing project so you can help make a difference with any of these projects at any time. No donation is too small.

You will be amazed at what we can learn about ourselves by helping others. When you bring some, you get some - ASHE!
