[Anyone who's going to hire me must provide a study hall for my kids, a playground, and a home-cooking kitchen...room service for the kids especially during summer holidays or provide summer camp close to work. Or I wouldn't work for you.] Bro Haruna: You are equally inspirational. At times while threading here, I would hear you saying you are taking the kids somewhere, cooking or something related kids' activities. That really ticks the hearts. On the above, I can't help the laughter. You must be the employer then, and it would be good for employers to think that way, but you and I know about corporate America. It is all about interest -more profit and less expenditure. For a special wish for you on father's day, I would recommend reading Hudson's American Democracy in Peril, if you haven't already since you are thinking alike. The man is a genius and I recommend all to grab a copy. I wish you a great time. Thanks for your beautiful thoughts and encouragement always.

To: [log in to unmask] You're doing wonderfully yourself Yero. I am inspired by you. The Africans who live in the diaspora do not always have grandma and grandpa around like our siblings back home. So we must be commended for rearing our kids American style and some of us do it with school, work, and other commitments. The trick is to design your work, school, and other commitments so the kids can fit into it seamlessly.

Michelle Obama wishes you a happy and joyous Father's Day. Haruna. Bro Haruna: That Michelle always gladens my heart. Her messages are well calculated. I too wish Alex and the many dads around well. In America, as the sytem has put it, dads like mothers, work so hard in an effort to upbring the family well, with no help from outside. You know in a typical Gambian culture, normally grandma , all the sisters, nieces and even other relatives are there to help. Herein, it could be both dads and moms are full time students and working full time. Nothing could be more of a blessing though, but at once the time they committ to the kids become less and less. You feel greatly indebted sometimes. The spirit is mutual across the globe. On that note, I wish all dads well. I too like Obama if to make a wish on father's day, just to pray for more time with my kids ---lovely so, and to be just that better dad. Thanks for sharing & I love you though Michelle Obama as always. Yero There is no god but Allah (SWT) and Muhammad (SAW) is His messenger. Fear and Worship only Allah alone!

To: [log in to unmask] Haruna -- As families around the country get together to celebrate fathers today, I'm thinking about dads like Alex. Alex is the father of two boys and two girls, ages six to 13. During the week, he works the 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. shift as a front-desk supervisor at a Seattle hotel. After work and on the weekends, he devotes his time to a summer organizing program that's giving more than 1,500 first-time organizers the training they need to help build this movement in their communities. He says he hopes this organizing work will help teach his kids the power one person can have -- that if "they see something that needs to be changed, they know they can make a difference." I wanted to share a video of Alex explaining what prompted him to join this program and devote his summer to this work. I was really moved by what he had to say. Take a look, and share it with a dad you're thinking about today: http://my.barackobama.com/Fathers-Day Today, I'm also proud of my husband, the man who drove our first daughter and me home from the hospital 13 years ago next month, determined to be the kind of father he hadn't had for himself. Barack often says he decided that day that if he could be anything in life, he'd be a good dad, and he dedicated himself then and there to making sure our daughter had every opportunity he could provide. When it comes down to it, that's why we're all here -- Barack, Alex, myself, and everyone who's part of this campaign. We're all working to make sure we leave our kids with a country that's fairer and more full of opportunity -- just as our parents did for us. Thank you for being part of that work, and part of this campaign. Wishing you a happy Father's Day, Michelle いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい
