ASA WORLDWIDE MEDICAL MISSION TRIP

I received with the details of my July 6-17th, 2014 ASA medical mission trip. I am honored to be able to participate and my goal is to take 10,000 pairs of eye glasses to Nigeria & Ghana. I was able to assist Ms. Danashaba King (President Clinton's Business Person of the Year) to raise and send 10,000 pairs of eye glasses to the Volta Region of Ghana a few years ago and wanted to also contribute to this ASA Medical Mission trip to Nigeria, West Africa detailed below. 

With this ASA Medical mission trip and I will to travel with the team to Nigeria to research and assist. If I can't go (US State Dept. has issued travel advisories due to Boka Haram threats to kill all Americans & Election violence even though they are in the North until May 25th, 2015). Dr. Anakwenze committed to pay for the shipping of the eye glasses. They will be on the plane with me. They will also pay for the security and ground transportation to the ten cities where

If Americans are not allowed to travel they will take the eyeglasses for me. The team is all using one travel agent and we all will assemble at one international port and will fly into Abuja, Nigeria. We will travel with security by ground to the 10 cities where the free medical services will be provided for the community. I have been working diligently to get stronger with water aerobics  so I can live strong.

I am both purchasing eyeglasses and checking at a eye care centers or Dr. Offices for eyeglasses that were donated.

When I called the Levitin Eye Care 3469 E Broad St Columbus, OH (614) 235-2392. They told me they have a free donation box and I am welcome to pick up all of the eye glasses.

I will be picking eyeglasses up for quite a few locations this week. 

If you have any available, I will work to coordinate the collection.

I am asking individuals for their old eye glasses that will be repaired, cleaned and packed or to go to a Dollar General and purchase a pair of eye glasses for $1.00 any strength is fine. Please pass this information to anyone you know who might want to assist.

Sample of the Dollar Tree for on-line order of Eye Glasses – 72 in a case @ $1.00 per pair. 7 different strengths.  My goal is 140 Cases of positive strength eye glasses made up of the following strengths.

+1.00 Diopters

+1.25 Diopters

+1.50 Diopters

+1.75 Diopters

+2.00 Diopters

+2.50 Diopters

+2.75 Diopters

I am try to complete the collection by June 5th, 2015. That will allow time to count, check, label and pack for shipment of the collected eye glasses.

AMERICAN SLAVERY -
NOT JUST WEST AFRICAN PEOPLE

I wanted to give some of the links to research on other groups enslaved in America. I will be covering some of this information at the Author Appearance & Discussion at Medu Bookstore in Greenbriar Mall Feb. 17th, March 7th, 2015 & at Columbia, SC programs.

SLAVERY WAS NOT ONLY ABOUT RACE!

Purchase of Christian captives from the Barbary States in Algiers by Catholic monks 1661.
Barbary States were the countries that were
Berber or Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya.
Slavery was not just West Africans.

In this post I will include some of the documents that show
other people were enslaved in America & worldwide.

I was taught that every country in the world has experienced the evils of slavery with the exception of Switzerland and Ethiopia has never been colonized but individuals were taken and enslaved.

Here is an escaped slave advertisement

"A Slave of the Indian Breed" 

                                 

Newspaper article reporting on a "captured ship 

from East Africa containing "slaves" in the 1880's.

In middle & high school in Germany, we learned that Poland had slavery 1,300 years, Bulgaria 500 years, America 400 years. The British called the people in India Blacks also not just Africans or African-Americans. Slavery is world wide even today. 

Visit the PolarisProject.org website to see what 

you can do to combat Modern Day Slavery.

Slavery in the Wieliczka-Bochnia Salt Mines of Poland from the 1,300's. It was dangerous work. The enslaved carved beautiful reliefs in salt still there. They were born lived & died below ground in the mines.

We participated in the Irish Festival at Underground Atlanta where our museum exhibit was located for 2 years. I had hundreds of people write their family stories in journals during the festival. Many were not indentured the way my children were taught but had manumission papers freeing them from slavery. (Sometimes at the death of the owner)

Here is the list of the largest slave holders in the United State 1860 US Census: In Descending Order by Number of Slaves. Many people in America had to work their own small farms with only their family members everyone in America did not own or use slave labor. From reading history books I have found many children with that impression.

I was born and raised in Germany. My father was in the military, U.S. Army, 3rd Armored Division. My mother's sisters and aunts came to visit us in Germany. We would tour Europe. I competed in many countries in several different sports for the United States & West Germany. I attended school in Hanau, Heidelberg and Berlin West Germany. The history I learned about the world and slavery is very different than what they teach in America.

(Pictured) My late mother, Aunt Sarah & me, in my dirndl (Germany dress) on her visit in Germany. In 1840 & 1841, my great grandfather, David Richardson Strother of South Carolina, applied for & received a passport to Germany with his brother.  I have a copy of them both.

  HUGUENOTS SOCIETY OF AMERICA

Huguenot were trying to escape religious persecution, Civil Wars and massacres. The Huguenot settlers immigrated to the American colonies directly from France and indirectly from the Protestant countries of Europe, including the Netherlands, England, Germany, and Switzerland (Was Huguenot haven of Geneva.). Although the Huguenots settled along almost the entire eastern coast of North America, they showed a preference for what are now the states of Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina. 

Just as France suffered a notable loss though the emigration of these intelligent, capable people, so the American colonies gained. The colonists became farmers, laborers, ministers, soldiers, sailors, and people who engaged in government. The Huguenots supplied the colonies with excellent physicians and expert artisans and craftsmen. For example, Irénée du Pont brought his expertise for making gunpowder learned from the eminent Lavoisier; and Apollo Rivoire, a goldsmith, was the father of Paul Revere, master silversmith and renowned patriot. 

George Washington, himself, was the grandson of a Huguenot on his mother's side. The Huguenots adapted themselves readily to the New World. Their descendants increased rapidly and spread quickly. Today, people of Huguenot origin are found in all parts of our country.

Civil wars followed. On March 4, 1590, Prince Henry of Navarre led Huguenot forces against the Catholic League at the Battle of Ivry (pictured right) in Normandy, resulting in a decisive victory. 

Then, on April 13, 1598, as the newly crowned Henry IV, he issued the Edict of Nantes, which granted to the Huguenots toleration and liberty to worship in their own way. For a time, at least, there was more freedom for the Huguenots. However, about one hundred years later, on October 18, 1685, Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes. Practice of the "heretical" religion was forbidden. Huguenots were ordered to renounce their faith and join the Catholic Church. They were denied exit from France under pain of death. And, Louis XIV hired 300,000 troops to hunt the heretics down and confiscate their property. 

This revocation caused France to lose half a million of its best citizens. It was not until November 28, 1787, after the United States of America had gained its independence from England, that the Marquis de Lafayette, who was impressed by the fact that so many of the American leaders were of Huguenot descent, persuaded Louis XVI and the French Council to adopt an Edict of Toleration guaranteeing religious freedom to all in France.
