Everytime there is a gathering for a celebration, it should a fund raiser towards a project which is needed in our community. Each family who is invited to these celebration, should also be told that the celebration is also a fund raiser towards a given and needed community project. Then there should be an agenda set for these gathering. Spend some time praying and singing, and spend some time dealing with Governmental administration. There is no need to pretend that monetary affairs cannot be dealt with on these occasions, when indeed each person have money right there in the assemble in their pocket. Use the gathering to raise funds for community advancement. This is very necessary and is long over due to be done.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere.
ONE BLACK LOVE ONE BLACK HEART
