Like many others in the emerging world, Africans have always been upbeat, creative, highly motivated, artistic and enterprising. These traits are echoed in sports, music, the professions, literally every line of business or career path. Visitors are always impressed by the energy and spirit of enterprise they encounter. We bring a lot to any partnership with developed nations. It certainly blows away the stereotype of indigenous people as being lazy and irresponsible.
Opportunities abound in most of Africa and other areas.
The media seem to focus on the difficulties, the shortages and hardships, painting a picture of despair. Did you know that in the ancient Empire of Ghana, two millennia ago, it took three months for a caravan to carry our Kingdom's gold and treasures to the Mediterranean ports. Today, you or I can reach any part of the world in a flash, thanks the magic of the internet. That bodes well for the future, as more and more Africans and others become computer literate, sparking an exciting initiative, as Americans and Europeans provide computers and trainers for classrooms, churches, group homes and libraries in the third world. This worthy program is bound to grow legs as the word spreads.
