SEASON GREETINGS
I SUPPORT AFRICA - NEPAD
SEASON GREETINGS
A number of our FDA Contacts/Partners/Supporters will soon be taking a well-deserved annual break.
May the Message of Goodwill, associated with the coming festive season, prevail and continue for you throughout the year 2005.
The FDA (Foundation for the Development of Africa), the FDA Partners and the I SUPPORT AFRICA campaign wish you, your family, friends and colleagues a peaceful and prosperous New Year.
We will not be closing (Africa never closes) and will be available to serve our Partners and Africa diligently throughout the month of December.
I SUPPORT AFRICA - NEPAD
The FDA's I SUPPORT AFRICA campaign, launched some 30 months ago, provides a unique opportunity for everyone to participate in Africa's development. The objective of this "I SUPPORT AFRICA" campaign is to mobilize the world to 'take hands' in support of Africa and her people!
This campaign therefore endeavors to promote opportunities in Africa and to acknowledge those who share our vision in Africa's sustainable development process.
Most importantly this campaign allows the "you and I" of this world to participate in Africa's development!
http://www.isupportafrica.com
It is now very evident that a number of processes/organisations (elitist clubs) supported and even endorsed by NEPAD secretariat, have now faded and failed Africa. NEPAD Secretariat recently acknowledged the failure of one of these so-called Africa Business Representatives.
Everyone should be allowed to participate in Africa's development - even if "proclaiming" your participation by adding your name to the I SUPPORT AFRICA campaign - is all you have to offer.
http://www.isupportafrica.com/isagen/list.htm
The FOUNDATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICA campaign ardently promotes the NEPAD initiative and provides useful information and constructive criticism with regard NEPAD and other Africa issues - see:
http://www.foundation-development-africa.org/africa_development/index.htm
www.google.com and www.yahoo.com both rate the I SUPPORT AFRICA campaign website site, as "tops" in the world - this from 20,000,000 and 12,000,000 WebPages respectively - when searching for "support africa"
FDA PARTNER PROGRAMME NETWORK
Please support the FOUNDATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICA and therefore AFRICA by participating in our FDA PARTNER PROGRAMME - a network on its own!

Looking back on 2004 the year was filled with both excellence and disappointment.
I know that 2005 will not have quite so many ups and downs and I certainly look forward to an excellent year. I am feeling confident about the way forward and look forward to working with most of you.
I would like to wish everyone every success for 2005 and hope your year will be peaceful and prosperous.
I wish you all you wish for yourselves.

Top of the day to you and all your's.
The Christmas season is here again. And as we reflect on the year 2004 and look forward to a more prosperous, successful and fun-filled 2005, we hope you will enjoy the lighter side of the seasons' greetings coming your way.
It is important to remember that, no matter how unpleasant things may have been sometimes, situations we faced this year could infact have been worse. What is more, maybe the better days and years that keep hoping for are about to come,... maybe.
For now, let's sit back, count our blessings and trust the Lord God for better things to come, as we reflect on our expectations for the coming year.
From our family, partners, associates and colleagues at ADATAGROUP, having you as a loved one is indeed a blessing.
Let's celebrate that fact and pray that the coming year will bring us even more blessings.
With love,
Jeye OKORODUDU and family.

Where did the year go?
Suddenly it is December......again - and we realize that with giant strides we started in January and within a blink of an eye, 2004 is on its back!
A big "Thank You" to each and everyone of you, for the huge impact you had on my life this year. Especially for all the support and e-mails I received.......without you, I'm sure that 2004 would have been extremely boring.
From my side I wish you all a Blessed Christmas Season filled with Loving Wishes and Beautiful Thoughts.
May 2005 mark the beginning of a Tidal Wave of Love, Happiness and Bright Futures.
Should you be driving during this time.....please take care!
Merry Christmas and a Joyful New Year!

Dear Peter,
As allways you beat me to it in sending the Christmas greetings.
Be that as it may, Ingrid and I want to take this opportunity of wishing you, your lovely wife and daughter and the rest of FDA partners and supporters, God's richest blessings and prayers for this coming festive season and the year ahead.
May each of the many members have a safe and journey wherever they may travel.
Every member of every family is precious and may we not recieve reports of sadness, loss or injury when we resume our commitment next year.
We pray especially for you, Peter, that our Lord will trully bless you in all your efforts you make to make the FDA a truly elite and enviable organisation. An organisation that we all can be truly proud to be a part of and serve with a caring and gratefull heart. I dont wish to sound "soppy" but thank you for giving me an opportunity of feeling that I belong and making me feel proud.
May this period and that which is coming in 2005, be a truly memorable one for you.
God Bless you my friend,
