Hi,

First of all I thank you for reading this message.

Some three years ago I gave up my executive life and came to Africa to assist with the development
of local people. To date my family and I have been very successful in our venture which cover the
following aspects:

1) Helping locals to establish themselves in a working environment from starting a small business to
being creative in their day to day survival tactics.
2) I use my technology to assist them with their progress, financial bookkeeping, banking facilities
and generally supply a office / secretarial service.
3) My wife and children contribute towards families needs in the form of education for pre school
kids, creativity in the home environment and a basic feeding scheme for the kids.
4) In addition to the above I also contribute to being a general advisor as it relates with dealings
with larger businesses and more prosperous companies.

The strange thing is that these people are very keen to help themselves but over the centuries they
have been stripped of their pride as people, but within them lies the eagerness to do something for
themselves and be proud of it. I have found if you give them money,  you insult them. However if you
help them and respect them they come up fighting.

Unfortunately my funds that supported me over the years is beginning to run out and these people
find it very difficult to pay for this type of services. Sometimes they volunteer little money and
on other occasions goods exchange hands but generally the service is supplied free.

It was a decision by my family and I not to give up our quest for creating self respect in these
people. Therefore  I need the assistance from individuals like yourself.

If you feel that you can contribute $30.00 or more please E-Mail me and I will supply the details of
how to get the funds to me.

PLEASE HELP US TO HELP THEM TO HELP THEMSELVES.

I thank you kindly for your assistance and hope you will find it in your heart to contribute what
you can.
