ANCESTRAL CONNECTIONS

“Greetings Family: I am contacting you in hopes of starting a movement.”

Nzingah Oniwosan was born in South Florida to Haitian parents. She is a dedicated pan-Afrikanist, gifted artist, as well as a talented painter, poet and activist.The past week has been immensely challenging for both her and her family as they have personally lost numerous relatives as a result of the earthquake. Nzingah has now put out an URGENT CALL with the goal of creating a grassroots movement to get much needed aid and assistance directly to our people. She has secured a plane, a pilot, doctors and supplies as well as clearance to land in Haiti. The relief effort will be focused in the most hard hit areas such as: Leogane and Petit-Goave (Tigwav). HOW CAN YOU HELP THIS GRASSROOTS EFFORT? What is needed at this time is your financial support to help pay for the pilot and landing costs. The first plane left Friday morning (1/29/10)! The goal again is to send planes loaded with supplies and skilled personnel to Haiti weekly or bi-weekly. If you would like to donate money or supplies or believe you have skills that can help on the ground please Contact Nzingah Oniwosan directly at: sankofaschild@gmail.com or make your tax deductibleDONATIONS online at changeiscomingcampaign.com and make sure to mention Sankofa’s Child
