Hotep all, As you all know, one of the initiatives to come out of the GSCA's 2nd annual Pan-African meeting was the creation of the Pan-African Partnership Program. Please either e-mail or call me (664-8128) ASAP in order to sign up for the program. The program will link incoming students of Black African descent with African American students at Miami. We want to include graduate as well as undergraduate students. Each incoming student of Black African descent will be paired with an African American student on campus. For a period of about one year, the two students will be required to interact frequently in order to ensure that a friendship develops. This friendship will help incoming students of African descent experience a smooth transition to life in America and foster better relations between Africans from abroad and African Americans. Being people of Black African descent, we have much in common as well as much to learn from one another. The specific details of the program are currently being worked out and I will get them to you as soon as they are finalized; however, the fist step is to generate a list of people who are willing to participate. Please, I'm begging you to be a part of this program and demonstrate that people of Black African descent care enough about each other to take action to help each other. We should not depend on others to do for us that which we should and can do for ourselves. Think, Work, & Serve -- Kamau (664-8128). --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/
