Mr Mukozi,

I am glad you see the same problem AYF sees. We seem to be on the same page 
as far as educating our folks back home is concerned. Our corrupt leaders 
continue to seek for themselves and their families riches at the expense of 
the poor African. Yes, they spend millions of loans and resources on arms and 
senseless wars. They fan tribal sentiments to justify their positions in 
authority. The question is should we still wait for these greefy folks to 
come around and say 'we are willing to help' or go along with or without them?

In the UK as you said, education is either private or public and you would 
agree with me that both categories enjoy some help from their alma mata or 
private contributions in terms of scholarships and grants. Africans can do 
the same if they place a high tag on the future of its sons and daughters. 
Most people who came to the west on scholarships failed to go home and help. 
Those who did merely became political oppressors because of their higher 
education.

I personally think the AYF is doing great unless your African model is 
outdoored for AYF to see if its a better alternative.
