Greetings from A3D,
As you may recall, Mamadou Diop recently received the Boston Music Award as International Artist of the Year for his achievements with his band MAMADOU. You may even know that he has been recognized for several years as Humanitarian of the Year by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for his efforts leading the small non-profit organization A3D (African Development through Drum and Dance) as both President and as a founding member of the group.
Now, we are looking for your help. We are NOT looking for your money, or even your time. What we are looking for is a donation of your unused Delta Skymiles to help send Mamadou to and from Senegal, West Africa to oversee two A3D projects (delivery of computers and desks) in mid-January of 2012. It is necessary for him to be there to ensure that the computers and desks arrive at their destinations without any interferences.
To donate your Delta Skymiles, please follow the directions found on Delta's web site at: http://dn.delta.com/skymiles/purchasemiles/transfer/landing?region=us&lang=en&part=RTR
You can transfer the Skymiles to A3D's Executive Director, Don Goldman (SkyMiles Number: 6146314908), who will purchase the ticket on Mamadou's behalf, and who will assist Mamadou on the journey to Senegal. In return, if you donate 10,000 miles or more, A3D and MAMADOU will send you a MAMADOU CD (Nadine or Djibi) as a token of appreciation.
Thank you for your support! |

Starting with AEDEC, a school populated by over 2000 middle and high school students from all over Africa, we have been working hard to get computers accessible to people in Africa. We feel that access to computers brings people one step closer to equality worldwide. Access to the Internet brings information to people's fingertips, communication to the farthest reaches of the Earth, and removes many of the limitations put on various civilizations by a lack of technology. This is an ongoing effort, and one well worth exploring. Thank you for your support. |

Having set foot within classrooms at the AEDEC school in Dakar, Senegal, it was immediately recognized by A3D's volunteers and members that the condition of the space in which the students learn and advance in their classwork is extremely poor. We are seeking $1200 per classroom, as described below. |
