Thanks Joe for stepping up once again.  Any assistance to Waa and his
family will be greatly appreciated.  Saul Mbenga can receive the collected
funds (let's hear you on this bro) or they can be sent to me.  DC metro
area folk who wish to assist Waa's family in these times, let me know and I
will give you my contact info or meet with you.

Thank you to all who've voiced support for the cause for which Waa is being
held.  No justice, no peace!  Complacency has no place in this drive to
free ourselves from the clutches of the "bitter tomato" economist.

R,
Soffie
