More Strength!

Ras Rukundo

‘More strength’ is a common line we use amongst ourselves to give encouragement and morale to one another while undertaking formidable tasks as what’s going on in Maragua. I’n’I, therefore, wish more strength - spiritually, physically & mentally - to my brothers out there. In particular, more strength to Ras Rukundo, who’s been on the battlefront with some wounds and burns from hot tea. Ras Rukundo is a Nyahbingi warrior from Rwanda – the homeland of Queen Nyahbingi.

HAILE SELASSIE I FOUNDATION, incorporating SHIRIKI CHARITY ORGANIZATION, is an organized nation of volunteers from the four corners of the world who have set aside personal distractions to commit to a higher course of serving humanity and creation at large.

Our ultimate objectives are encompassed in the I-vine edict of the Lord of Lords, Emperor Haile Selassie I that the Hungry be fed, Sick nourished, Aged protected, Infants cared for, Naked clothed and, Ignorant instructed.

Recognizing Afrika as the cradle of civilization, and a land of abundance in terms of human and natural resources, we have set out to work with the continent’s local communities to tap into these resources, utilizing and conserving for future generations.

Some of the ways in which we are doing this include setting up organic agriculture farms where people can participate and learn, using the arts, music, public education, media and other forums to re-educate the Afrikan population about sustainable natural living.

We acknowledge the youth population as the vehicle through which Afrika’s aims of self-sufficiency and cultural independence can be realized. Seventy percent of the continent’s population is the youth. Should they be involved in the preservation, maintenance and continuance of traditional wisdom, as well as innovation of practical modern resource utilization methods, then Afrika will no longer stand inadequate in the eyes of world opinion. It will in fact be once again at the vanguard of the world’s moral and material progress. This is what we aspire to.

Our objective thus, is to involve the youth in agriculture, the natural prerequisite towards real and tangible development. Out of this involvement, the youth population will be directly engaged in providing and uplifting the basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter. It will lessen their susceptibility to misuse and exploitation by politicians, churches, vampire industries and other devouring forces.

We are working to ensure that all, and especially the youth, grow to value, recognize and respect our diversity of traditional knowledge, food, language and culture, and the way we organize and express ourselves and at the same time rejecting technologies and practices that undercut our future food producing capacities, damage the environment, put our health at risk and create all forms of injustice.

This is to call on all discerning souls universally to step up and cooperate to contribute towards the path which will lead to a freer, cleaner and ultimately sustainable new world. It is a sight to behold.
