Please tell me and I will honestly serve.I am glad that the ONE voice is heard all over.Congrats to all for the feat in ensuring Liberia debt is cancelled.I am happy for all of us.I believe that together we will continue to make a difference.Alot will be achieved together.I am also unjustly treated by the Canadian embassy.It hurts to see how they are treating my request for a study permit.I got admission in YORK UNIVERISTY.They couldnt even call me for an interview nor did they ask the school anything about my admissionrbut returned my application saying there are not sure I will leave canada after my studies.Does that say anything when I am not even there yet? I made an appeal in court there over the decision and till now I am writing to the Honourable ONE members I am yet to be given a guideline to follow.My admission was later deffered to January,but January is just around the coner and I dont know what to to. That is pure injustice and is not fair at all.I am pleading that they should allow me go there to study.It will boost my future ambitions and give me a better idea on how to contribute to my country economic life.Nigeria needs a change of attitude and ideas.My country educational way is unpredictable as people spend more years in school than there are suppose due to unrealistic school calendar and strikes.Please add your voice in any way you can. But Anne,let me know how I can meet you.It will be nice to see ONE member in my life.Thanks Sincerely, Samuel Ogbonnaya.

You brought a level of sincerity and genuine enthusiasm to all that you did which is rarely seen in ever-expanding organizations. The common person, the everyday volunteer, often gets forgotten by organizations as they seek to reach an ever-growing constituency. While this may be a bit unavoidable, you were always able to see the person behind the volunteer and treat everyONE with the respect that we all deserve. We must never forget, in our efforts to help speed up the end of extreme poverty and AIDS in our world, that we ALL MAKE INVALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS to ONE - whether we are paid staff or volunteers in the field. And as such, let us not forget the phrase upon which I think this organization was founded "We're ONE but we're not the same. We get to carry each other." Let's continue to live and advocate by those words.~ Take very good care of yourself, Anne. I'm glad that you found your way home. I'm heading that way soon too. Blessings - not just for those who kneel. ALWAYS ONE in the Spirit, debbie :) Anne,

I am very sorry to hear the news that you are no longer a National Field Director for ONE. You brought a level of sincerity and genuine enthusiasm to all that you did which is rarely seen in ever-expanding organizations.

The common person, the everyday volunteer, often gets forgotten by organizations as they seek to reach an ever-growing constituency. While this may be a bit unavoidable, you were always able to see the person behind the volunteer and treat everyONE with the respect that we all deserve.

We must never forget, in our efforts to help speed up the end of extreme poverty and AIDS in our world, that we ALL MAKE INVALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS to ONE – whether we are paid staff or volunteers in the field.

And as such, let us not forget the phrase upon which I think this organization was founded
“We’re ONE but we’re not the same. We get to carry each other.”

Let’s continue to live and advocate by those words.~

Take very good care of yourself, Anne. I’m glad that you found your way home. I’m heading that way soon too.

Blessings – not just for those who kneel.

ALWAYS ONE in the Spirit, debbie :)
