Maya Angelou once wrote, “I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver”. With more than $10,000 raised in less than 3 hours, Manyu elements in Washington DC and its environs liberated their souls by giving back to the needy and under-privilege children of Akwaya.
The occasion was the (MEDWC) fundraising dinner that took place in Maryland on Saturday March 6, in support of the 2010 Economic Conference bound for Akwaya on March 22, 2010. The joyous evening was hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Cletus Ayuk in their Burtonsville, Maryland residence and in attendance MEDWC USA Coordinator Sesekou Dr. David Tambe who flew in from Dallas, Texas to grace the occasion and present an overview of the organization’s activities.
Knowing too well that in tough economic times money becomes tight, and thus making it difficult for others to donate, the master of ceremony for the evening Ms. Ivert Tambe employed her superb fundraising theatrics and called on donors to dig deep in support of the children of Akwaya. The response was overwhelming as attendees spoke of their deep rooted love and pride in the development of Akwaya and its complete disenclavement.
MEDWC will therefore like to extend a big thank you to all who participated and contributed to the success of the event. In return, the organization will continue its charitable mission and implement short term conference projects by organizing a health fair, support IT awareness with computers to schools, assist in sustainable energy, providing generators to clinics and promoting academic excellence through financial aid packages to merited students.
