Dear Prospective Donors/Sponsors,
PLEASE SUPPORT MY HISTORIC TRAVEL TO AFRICA FOR A TRANSFORMATIVE INITIATIVE
You’ll agree with that, undoubtedly, Africa is still a mystery place to most people, including African themselves, despite being the birthplace of humankind and the cradle of civilization. Hence, to be effectively persuasive to sell Daylight Africa Week globally, I have decided to acclimate myself (the founder) with the continent by personally traveling to all its counties within twelve month, between Africa Day 2022 and Africa Day 2023.
My travel itinerary shall be done regionally. East Africa, Southern Africa, Central Africa, North Africa, and then West Africa.
The total budget from start to finish is about: Two Hundred Fifty Two Thousand ($252,000) dollars. I am therefore seeking donations and sponsorships in order to meet this goal by May 25, 2022, the scheduled start date.
I would be extremely honored to meet this fundraising goal prior to departing. This historic journey is slated to commence on Thursday, May 26, 2022 with a major press conference in front of the African Union Mission to the United Nations in New York City.
Thank you all in advance!
Daylight Africa Week — Brief Introduction
As proud members of the African Union’s sixth region, our most fruitful contribution to the socioeconomic development of our continent is to increase diaspora traffic through remittance, tourism, investment and outsourcing of manufacturing and technical services. The Africans in the diaspora who still face racial marginalization, have a tremendous intellectual and financial capital that can help change the lagging economic status of our homeland, and thereby uplifting their collective global status as peoples of African descent. Furthermore, a continent that recently came out of barbaric colonialism and tirelessly labored to distance itself from neocolonialist strangulation, requires all the productive hands of its sons and daughters, home & abroad, on deck.
The expanding international traffic that has been a source of added gross domestic production (GDP) for many nations must now include all nations in Africa. Africa can’t provide natural resources to the global consumers for pennies on the dollars, and must no longer tolerate being given crumbs as charities from the same countries whose economic developments are enhanced by their unfair and imbalanced trade with the nations in our homeland. We need global partners and investors who see us as equals.
Against the backdrop this new attitude, African leaders in the diaspora are requesting from all African governments to approve and ratify the establishment of Daylight Africa Week, also known as Africa Open House Week and Transatlantic Family Reunification Week, to be convened throughout the continent from September 2 through 10, annually. This government ratification means while visitors are solely responsible for all expenses associated with their travels to the continent, they are nonetheless guests of the governments of the respective countries that they are visiting during Daylight Africa Week in terms of their safety and security. For this reason, we are seeking from our ambassadors and their relevant ministries to bring this petition up for governmental approval.
