GIVE A CHILD THEIR FIRST LAPTOP!

Hi!

I came across a fundraiser to give a child in rural Tanzania their first laptop, and I wanted to share it with you. Many bright students there have big dreams but lack access to technology that could help them reach those goals. Even a small share can help spread the word and make a difference—please consider sharing or donating if you can.

Dear Diaspora Children: Before You Ask Look in the Mirror!

Dear Diaspora Children: Before You Ask Where Our Money Went, Look in the Mirror!

By Dr. Shaaban Fundi

African immigrant parents must prepare for retirement. But their successful children should also remember who financed the runway from which they took off.

There is a difficult conversation coming to many African diaspora families.

For some, it has already arrived.

A successful son or daughter, perhaps in their late twenties or thirties, looks at aging immigrant parents and asks:

“Why didn't you prepare better for retirement?”

It is a legitimate question.

African parents should save, invest and prepare for old age. Our children should not be our pension plans.

But before our children conclude that Mama and Baba simply failed financially, perhaps they should ask another question:

Where did the money go?

Sometimes the answer is uncomfortable.

Look in the mirror.

Some of it went into you.

Tulianza Maisha Upya

Many East African immigrants did not arrive in America, Canada or Europe at 18.

Tulikuja ukubwani. We arrived as adults.

Some came at 30, 35 or 40, carrying degrees and professional experience from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and elsewhere—only to discover that qualifications do not always cross borders as easily as people do.
