Well you are right I did not dig further about his circumstances,  
because I was uncomfortable being seen as delving into his personal  
life. I never knew he was a student, and he certainly never gave me  
the impression he was in contact with other Africans in madison, but  
less being a member of UNIMA. As for food the pantry, I don't see what  
is so embrassing about it, the impression you are giving. I used the  
food pantry my self, so big deal!! The gentleman was brought to me by  
a church official who knew I am African. I dealt with him for what is  
necessary, and recommended services to him. I do not think it was  
necessary for him to carry him in my pocket for any considerable  
period of time for it to mean anything. So you are the Chairperson of  
this organization. Who cares. Not me. I don't give a shit to what you.  
You calling me inhumane? You are out of your darn mind, and get this,  
I am being respectful.
