Why you decided to make that interpretation is something that only you know. And I used a term ("brothers and sisters") that people have used for decades to attempt to find unity amongst people. Again, only you would know why you decided to interpret it negatively. Strictly Positive, debbie :) PS: Since there does not seem to be a way in which we can constructively discuss, I will move on and enjoy my weekend.

I'm speaking the truth that I know and am trying to speak it as positively as possible. If your comment entails a negative perspective, then it probably is better to say nothing.

That is why they need the assistance of their brothers & sisters who are living in the diaspora to come home and help them improve the Continent.

This is SMART AID in action for sure.....but so much more needs to be done. I personally know of nearly 250 children in Uganda who couldn't find the money last year for their school fees. I did what I could to raise some money for these children to go to school but it wasn't enough for all of them. I carry them in my Heart & Soul every day. AS ONE, debbie www.mpwn-uganda.org PS: If people would personally like to help this year to make sure children have a chance to attend school this coming academic year in Uganda, they can contact the above website for info. Thanks. As a former teacher, I especially thank you for this post, Nora.
