“None of the above could have been accomplished without the direction and support of the Africa Foundation. Their concern and care for the communities they serve is obvious as is the quality of all those associated with the Foundation. They become personally involved in the projects and the communities themselves. Because of the Africa Foundation, we are personally committed to participating and involving others in self-sustained programmes for the communities for as long as we are financially and physically able.”
