I dream of a worls that thrives on dialogue instead of wars. I look
forward to a world that takes a new orientation or paradigm to achieve
win-win solutions. A world that is aware of its inter-connectedness that
no living system can live without the other. We all share a set of
common properties which must be protected for the benefit of all and the
coming generation. I envision a world that does not self destruct;that
has respect for nature and value its gifts. A world that has respect
for cultural diversities on which its beauty rests: co-existing,
complementing each other, living in harmony.
This world is possibe. Let us all in solidarity create an alternative
that would change the present course of dehumanisation in our world.
About Me:
I ama midwife of change who has been working, accompanying smallholder farmers in Nigeria and globally, in their struggles against those forces that substitute earth-damaging sizze and greed for smallness and the beautyof a world of sharing and caring.
What are the creative skills that you feel you have or would like to develop.
1. A great and avid listener
2. Servingothers in a team that I belive in.

Greetings Mama,
Thank you so much for the message you sent to me. I apologize for my late response. I am more than happy and honored to work alongside you, Daddy, and my siblings for a better future for all.
Although daily life gets very busy for me. I am working hard to make headway here in America for WorldFamily. I have been spreading the word diligently and when my work schedule allows I have been working on the creative aspects that will help galvanize the masses into positive action.
I am proud to be an Arigbede child:)
Ayo and Yahsmin send thier love. Many Blessings to you, Daddy, Irawo, Timi, and my niece and nephew in this New year. I cannot wait to see all of you:)
Love always (lailai)
SeyiFunmi.
In our unity is our strength ...even though miles away the power of love and thought is an instant connection!
Much Love and Peace to you and your family. Theresax

Hi Dunni,
It is lovely to write this and look at your beautiful smile. No Seinde didn't tell me the roots of his root canal! I accept your naughty sympathy about the origins of my tooth problem!
To answer some of your questions: I wrote the ph.d. and the book. It all seems a long time ago...in fact I have just been looking for my only remaining copy ot the book. It was originally written for the family though the process of producing it, writing with a very difficult co-author and Rose being very young (3 when it was finished) and then being out of contact, left me with doubts about its relevance. I finally found the copy and looked at it and I dont know...its not going to tell you anything you dont know except perhaps some of the historical basis for what happened in Guinea-Bissau back in the seventies. I could enclose it in the dhl package. At some point it would be good to have it back but no urgency, it is not my bedtime reading!
Thank you for asking about it.
Being part of the wider family again gives me a context for any amount of work - my mind is firing off all over the place and making lots of connections - the work of 'Seinde's visit was a privilege and a pleasure and needs no thanks (though thanks are always lovely!).
Give Fifun a big hug belatedly for his birthday. I hope his diarrhoea has gone by the time you receive this. If not, consider Ars. Alb. from the homoeopathic kit. It might settle it. I am glad the skenar is being helpful for your back and you have been able to treat 'Seinde.
I must sleep now. It is late now and while I dont feel tired now, it will hit me tomorrow or friday which are both busy days.
I really long to meet you again in person.
Lots of love, Jocelyn

I love your vision of the world. I really enjoyed meeting your lovely husband in Brighton. I find myself thinking more and more about food production since then. I spend most of my time in Brighton but am ocassionally in the States in Providence Rhode Island for months at a time. I have space both here and there if you ever need it. I would welcome you or your family.
Best wishes
Chrissie

Hallo Dunni.
I am so pleased to hear from the powerful Lady we have heard so much about. I understand about digesting all that has happened as I myself am still trying to cope with the mass of information from Seinde and from my own researches and the work that I have undertaken, the radio show and Healthy Concerts. For a man who officially has no job I sometimes get quite busy!
I don't know what time it is in Nigeria at 12.00 noon GMT which is when my program Vision Shack goes out, but as I have posted elsewhere the next program is going out on 12th December - so 12/12 at 12 on www.radioreverb.com
and my guests are both involved in initiatives involving India and Romania.
However, I will ask Jocelyn for an address so I can send you and Seinde CDs of future programs because it was always in my plan to connect each of my guests in this way - every one will have a copy of each program, in my small way thus helping to connect people of vision across the world. Further to this, after say, a year, I intend to ask each guest to contribute to a book, a kind of progress report from all of those who wish to contribute.
I sometimes feel there is so much to do, and how are we going to succeed in generating the right consciousness in the world, but then I remember that we are not alone, that we have each other, many more to come in our youth, and that there is a Greater Intelligence behind everything we can do.
Bless you,
Louis.

I think I made a wrong assumption about your identity.I have been so caught up in a whirlwind of inner and outer activity since first meeting Seinde 2-3 weeks ago, culminating in the radio show he appeared on on Thursday afternoon, I have not had time to gather my wits. He was the best guest I could hope for, which was lucky for me on my first Vision Shack show as I was as nervous as a beginner when told 1 hour before recording that it was LIVE as well. I am honoured that he calls me brother, and so greatful to have met him.
I hope he gets his way with people to supply a dish and power to offer internet access to the community there soon. People here miss him already, but are also ready to do some real work.
My Honour and Respect,
Louis Loizou
PS You will find most of the show uploaded to my profile page, but you may hear the CD before that anyway, I suspect.

I am so happy to hear from someone who is sharing in their father's dream and working with it. Welcome to World family, your father's idea as i am sure you are aware. Some cynics may say "What is different between you and all the other starry-eyed idealists you can find in internet groups?" to us, to which I will say "Look at our founder member, Makanjuola Olaseinde Arigbede and examine his life - then you will see the difference". That is why I joined, because here is a man who is not afraid to face the truth about the reality he sees around him, himself, and who has proved that with dedication, commitment,compassion, eyes open, it is possible to achieve "the impossible".
Welcome to World family.
