Beautiful video.
I have always loved, LOVED the English spoken voice that comes from an African. They speak with such clarity. Beautiful people.
Cheers for the vid. |

I always like to see and understand a little more about Africa. I hope they can keep building more schools and draw in more knowledge and skill that facilitates effective and rightful leadership. I know they are mostly good people with good intentions despite all the wars. Africa is the ultimate of corruption in leadership. The majority are great people aspiring to do great things, but corrupt evil guys almost always take the leadership with guns and antagonizing intimidation as to take advantage of his country men.
How can a young man speak English as a 2nd language while he sat low during all of his years growing up instead of going to school? Knowledge is exchanged when everyone speaks to each other in hopes of achieving something better in their future... They sure try to do good and hopefully good will prevail over the evil leaders they have in place causing all the corruption and war.
While traveling Europe, I met the most beautiful black people from African countries who were the most pleasant people I've ever spoke with. They're open minded and seeking a way with great optimism, but what they don't realize (maybe they know, but can't touch it) is that their leadership is severely failing them due to corrupt greed. The dumbest rule Africa while the smartest and most competent dream about what is right. This is the very complexity that comes to mind when I think of Africa. I want to go and understand better why this is. It would be a joy to be a teacher in one of the new schools and make a change. I almost joined the peace corp to go to Botswana, but the financial situation is difficult as well as the risks I'd be taking with my life. Unfortunately, the talent has to go where the money is, not where the passion and need really is. |
