Thanks Mr. Akyea and Amegashie for the kind words.

There are several areas that need community input:
a) Suggestions, suggestions and comments please,
b) Populating Country Specific Resources. We need all your hands on this
one. Harambee!
c) Your Time

I have suggested several ways task (b) can be accomplished. The executive
will contact you once a decision has been made and the details worked out. A
request for your input should be coming your way shortly. READ EXECUTIVE
ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Sincerely

Congratulations for a good job done.  Congrats to the Executive and Mr.
Peter Amakobe for putting this together.  Excellent work.

It is a beautiful and interactive site that would serve as a virtual
community center for all Africans and friends of Africa.  A good website is
only as good as how and who uses it so I will encourage everyone to visit
and send in conmments which I am sure the webmaster/webmistress would
appreciate.

A lot more content is needed.  Like a new house, we have the structure now
but we all need to pitch in to decorate the site with the appropriate and
useful furnishings.

Once again, AYEKOO or well done as we say in Ghana.

Cheers.
