Dear Kathryn;
I have read the employmenrt invitations that you have gbeen sending. Most who qualify are of African descent. I find this appalling. If the African countries had it so much together thenm why do they have the problems. It seems that they need to be Americanized so that they may get out of the rut they're in. I've been to Africa and it seems that the welcome American input. I am qualified although in some instances and cases I have been even looked down upon for the African who come here from their countries normally don't seem to have a high opinion of American Blacks. I've even applied for some of the funding as a Black Archbishop and have found that most of the programs even as with PEPFAR are administrated by Black Africans. That's OK. However agtain they may know the native land as to health parameters but they need some American Corporate challenges that only a black American can give them. It's sad when a person of my expertise cannot qualify to help nations because we don't meet the African standards that are not up to par anyway. God Bless; Archbishop Mady Thomas III
