These are investments in the future of East Africa. They’re not charity and I think these kind and far-seeing donors recognize this, too.
Ordinary investments are made for selfish reasons but when we recognize that improving the lot of our fellows ultimately improves our own lives then that’s a finer version of capitalism.
Japan became an industrialized world power within a single generation. America went from being a poverty-stricken colony to a self-reliant nation within a generation. China changed from a starving, oppressed commie country to a relatively prosperous and free one in a generation so why shouldn’t we expect Kenya and Somalia to also turn the tables on their hiding oppressors and exploiters though the universal adoption of orgonite within a generation?
I think the kikundi will remain relatively safe from now on because a whole lot of people are now watching them on the internet. The only concern I have about that is that we may need to attract more East Africans to read the EW postings, which is why I’m encouraging the non-English speaking African EW contributors and kikundi members to post their reports in Kiswahili, here. They are Fatuma in Somalia, Hibrahim in Ethiopia and Eliud in Tanzania.
If I weren’t such a bonehead when it comes to learning languages I’d be posting Kiswahili reports by now but I’ve been struggling to learn it for over a year and haven’t made a lot of progress. I had hoped to bring Benedict over here this month to help me move along faster but I had to choose between his visit and buying some motorcycles (pikipiki) for some of the key members, including him. There was a pressing need for personal transport because soldiers started confiscating their orgonite on the buses this year.
I need to buy one for Eliud, this month, and the last one is for Hibrahim, next month. Meanwhile, when someone sends a contribution the kikundi are using that money to expand and consolidate their operation, usually in a way that won’t see a return in profit for the foreseeable future. These forays have been quickly improving the lives, health, climates, agriculture, fishing and economies in new areas, such as Somalia, Ethiopia, Congo, Chad, Tanzania, Burundi and beyond but it require be one or two more stages before people can spend money there, again. Buying orgonite seems to be a high priority in that case–kind of like buying cellphones is [Image Can Not Be Found] and we mustn’t underestimate the essential importance of cellphones, by the way. There’s even a growing demand for zappers, finally. At some point someone will help the kikundi set up to manufacture those–an initial investment of five grand or so would make it happen nicely but one of us in the biz need to show up and teach them the basics, then. Everything seems to happen at the right time, so no worries.
If anyone has a workable plan for getting trailers for their motorbikes please let me know! I never saw that in Africa but it’s popular in N America and it’s appropriate tech for Africa, of course. There are lots of handy people there who could probably build them if they had some drawings but that’s outside of my expertise. I do intend to paint some cool business signs for them when I go there, though, and to do a lot of aerial gifting
