by Raga
S. Elim, Ph.D., Chairman, Capital District Committee on International Understanding
Thank you once again for your donations to the Initiative for Africa. Our total

Some donors have arranged matching funds from their
employers. If your employer is equally generous, we
ask you to take advantage of this arrangement....more

Learning
To Plant Potatoes
by
Governor Tom Ganse
"Give
a man a fish and you feed him
for a day. Teach a man to fish
and you feed him for a lifetime."
- Chinese Proverb
Let's

that statement with a different
example: "Give a man a potato and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to grow potatoes
and you feed him for a lifetime." ...more |
