They have come to know and appreciate each other to hopefully forge lasting and effective relationships because they are equal.<br \/>The Wamiliki Foundation (heirs and\/or owners) sincerely hopes that a small spark of hope will be planted in the hearts and minds of these young people, so that they take their fate into their own hands and perhaps above all, regain their destiny. We firmly believe that this is the key to the rise of Africa and Europe: let the Africans take their own destiny into their own hands.
