If you
are unfamiliar with it, please check it out. I have created this page here,
because I require some assistance.
I have been accepted to a Study Abroad program and will be studying in ZIMBABWE for the year of 2000 (from Feb. to Dec.)
I have fulfilled all of the other program requirements- paperwork, shots,
etc. and now all I have left is to raise the funds for airfare. Round trip
tickets run around $2000-3000 (yes, this is steep). I am making this site
requesting my friends, e-friends, and those who just want to help get an
Afrikan person back home to experience Afrika first-hand. For those who
already know me and/or who agree with the site, know I will not be going
over there as a tourist. I will be going "home" to see the real Afrika,
separate fact from fiction, and be amongst the real Afrikans, not those
who want to give up their traditions to follow the trinkets of europe.
We know what that has gotten us over here and I definitely don't want to
duplicate that at "home."
Also, for those who do not know me, I have dedicated the last 10 years
to the serious study and
inquiry into our Afrikan reality and am transforming my life to be in line
with it. I have created Afrikan-centered newsletters and helped with Afrikan-centered
newspapers (The Drum Code, Connecting Afrika's Children,
and The Naked Truth respectfully). I have done numerous lectures
from "The Psychological Effects of Foreign Religions on the Psyche and
Behavior of Afrikans in america" to The Coming Race War" to "Using Our
Afrikan Culture to Transform Your Life." I am a member of the Pan Afrikan
Association of america-6 years running, and current President of its San
Diego State chapter, I was also the former Historian for the Association
of Black Psychologists-San Diego Chapter and former President of the Afrikan
Student at San Diego City College as well as former Activities Coordinator
for the A.S.U. at San Diego State. So as you see, Afrika is WAY MORE than
just theory for me.
What I would like from you, faithful and soon to be faithful followers
of the Spirituality site are sponsorship/love donations:
Since the vamudzimu (Ancestors) have brought me this far, I know they will not let the mundane, yet important area of money hold me back from going home and experiencing what I need to experience to help my own growth or experiencing what I need to help Afrikan people as a whole, hence the idea to create this site.
I will also keep everyone interested up-to-date with how close the goal is to being reached. The last day to send your donations & requests should probably be January 31st as I have to be there by February 3rd! So, the sooner, the better, please.
You can send your donations (checks, money orders(if this is the preferred method, please use my SLAVE NAME-unfortunately until I get back- Marshall Edwards) or cash-make sure to
wrap it in 2-3 sheets of extra paper) and/or requests for items to:
LET ME SAY
BARKA, NDATENDA & ASANTE SANA (Three Afrikan words
for "Thank You") in advance to everyone who will help finally make my dream
come true and for those who will live their dream indirectly through me,
until it is my turn to help you
get back "home."
(if you send it to the Pan Afrikan Assoc, please add "c/o Kamau's Zimbabwe Fund")
THIS IS A PIC OF ME FOR
THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN
ME.
