About Africa
Africa Facts - Fun Facts, Geography Facts, Travel Facts

By Anouk Zijlma, About.com Guide- http://goafrica.about.com/od/africatraveltips/a/africafacts.htm

Is Africa a country?

Some people often refer to "Africa" as if it is a country rather than a continent. Well, it is a continent and home to 54 independent, unique countries with South Sudan being the latest addition in July 2011. Each country has its own currency, flag, anthem, history, cuisine, music, identity and blend of cultures. In fact more than 2000 languages are spoken in Africa, and its 1 billion inhabitants are made up of over 3000 distinct ethnic groups. Africa is also bigger than most people think it is, even if they know it covers 30,221 sq km (11, 679 sq miles). If you combine the USA, China, India, Europe and Japan – they all fit into Africa. In fact the USA fits into the African continent three times.

 

Kenyan Cincinnati Association(KCA) Thank you letter

By the Chairman - Dr Dan Odipo

 Ladies and gentlemen, fellow Kenyans and well-wishers;

It is with utmost humility that we at the Kenyan-Cincinnati Association (KCA) executive would like to express our sincere gratitude for your support at our recent annual dinner event that was graced by the presence of our Ambassador H.E. Elkanah Odembo.

Thank you to our American brothers and sisters, fellow Africans from other African nations and the international community. We THANK YOU for your sacrificial effort of time and financial support to help our cause "Providing education scholarships for orphaned and impoverished children back in Kenya".

It was indeed a blessing to see many Kenyans coming together in solidarity for a common goal. This sacrificial gesture has stamped an imprint upon our hearts. We will cherish and carry this memory with us wherever we go and do commit to build a strong bond of unity with our fellow brothers and sisters for the greater good of humanity.

May we resolve to be the change that we want to see happen and hearken to the clarion call from the Ambassador H. E. Elkanah Odembo, that focused on solidarity. Let us all look beyond our social, cultural, professional and tribal boundaries and strive to foster unity here in our communities, associations and beyond for the greater good of all humanity and generations to come.
Thank you and we look forward and cherish your active participation.

Sincerely

Daniel C. Odipo :- (260)402-2180 cell, e-mail:- danielodipo@aol.com
