Presentation of project and research assistance.

[Soma]

Hi dear friend of the community.

I created this page of dialogue to present a project and I can try to have people who will want to help me.

I had the receipt for my association, which mean that I leave my government to begin the work of the association.

But for the moment everything is blocked, because my association has no funds to carry out its activities. We really need the money for us to find a rent that will be the headquarters of our organization and need funding for the activities conducted. But I will explain in detail what we need for the association:

1) Now that we have the administrative papers of the association we your first premises that we rent and this will be the local headquarters of the association. "The best thing is to build a place that will be the name of the association would avoid paying the end of each month's rent headquarters of the association.

2) must furnish the headquarters of the association (the office, a large conference table, chairs and others).

3) we have identified for the top 10 children aged 04 years and 14 years. Most of his children are fatherless and live with their mother, while on the other are fatherless. We have yet to identify street children, it will not say that there are no street children. For since I wanted What takes care of orphans. But in general we help all children in difficulty. The association will take care of his children in several areas which are:
a) provided a good education, enrollment,
b) treat them when they are sick, learn to live together in harmony,
c) make school meals for children or they will eat lunch after school.

The association can not accommodate more street children together, because we do not have a dorm yet, but in the future we want to build an orphanage well if we have the financial means. But if we can have a room that will be the headquarters of the association, then the children will spend their day eating, washing, treating their duty to house them have been given at school or at school.
The association also will host the social cultural day to name children.
The association will organize events during the years for children in institutions and therefore we reward the best students of each college or school and encourage other students to study well to be rewarded too. In a word I do this project to help children, but I aim to try my way of educating tomorrow's great man whose need for Africa and the world (a good future generation), because if Africa must grow and be a Democrat we need to educate children today.

Regarding the necessary equipment, we need:

1) We need clothing for children aged 04 to 18 years for all gender confused (girl and boy) that we distribute to children who need clothes.

2) We need school supplies (notebooks, pens, pencils, backpacks for school children, books, colored pencil and other) each year for distribution to school children gifts parents can not afford.
3) We need the hardware as to administrative documents in the future days. (A computer, printer, copier, fax, scanner) for his costs really expensive to go public in a secretariat to seize documents.

4) We need substantive financial year to cover our expenses are:
_Payer The rent of the headquarters of the association.
_Payer Children's schooling.
_Payer The electricity bill and water that the association will consume.
_ Pay the food from the canteen of the school year.
_ A budget earmarked for medical care in cases where children are sick.
_ And a budget for anything unexpected.



Here are some words in what the association will do and what the association needs.
He is not obliged to have all this before starting activities. If we have the elements necessary we can begin.


I can not figure estimated for our expenses because we have not started and I have no idea. I am very pleased that you contact the organizations to help me now, and I would also be happy to get help directly from each of you. But I am very happy to hear that you want to help me in my project. One thing I must tell you, if you need to provide support to my project please let me send it directly and not through my government.
That's all that but I'd like to ask you something. Views that I am new to the world of association I would like you to accept to give me advice when I needed to cheer me up when its not going. For in addition to receiving financial aid and materials I need moral and spiritual. For in the world of association we found quite a problem and will make many enemies. I learned an art when I can put in place the administrative records of the association, I had problems with people so I thought they could help me. Furthermore we wanted to turn the project into their own project. They had the courage to do his thing because they have seen that I am very young and he thought they were going to arrive at their end. For this I had to call a friend who is French correspondent outside of my association. And my French friend to call the Embassy of Burkina in Paris so they can intervene. Finally I had the receipt and other documents for my association. Its didn't really been easy.
So you accept to be when I need advice?

I want to say also that this project I really want to heart, for me too since I was little fatherless. Are not I lucky to know my father. And my mother died in 2005.
So I know what a child can feel that his parents no longer alive. And I make this project to help his children.

Well now I think I told you everything. And if there are people who question you can always contact me. Those who also want their support to my association you can leave a comment. Thank you.

I do not speak English, I translate my text in google to send you. I hope you understand my message.

I take you to the receipt of my association that I am scanned. The receipt is scanned in two parts (both sides)

Hello Aurora.

Excuse me for my absence on this page. I always read the comment. But I see it advance as before, we were not many before, and now if there are people who want to write on this page discussing its become sad. And, I'm sorry I do not know the reason. Mieke not just on this page, I send private message it does not, I thought she had connection problems, but I am mistaken. It will no longer talked to me. And I really do not know what I could make him well as harm. I think that in life if someone does something that you like me, he must make him understand that this person changes. This is not the right solution to stop talking with that person. Well that's life, if she thinks it's good not to talk to me then I'll respect his decision, I'm not going to send a message. Thank you to her for her good deed.

Dear Aurora thank you for the link you sent me, I already http://translate.google.com/ to translate my text and pages. But it does not always translate well. But there is one can say. In this regard the link to Auction Computer http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dFU3aHNNc ... I was no friend in America who can pick it up and send me. I'm sorry.
The Foundation for Fred, I was nobody in his country who will want to agree to represent my project laba.
It's better if you study well the site www.kiva.com, so I think you could help me by telling me what I must do to get financing. Please do this only if you have free time.

Once again I want to force anybody to do what I say, I do not want to be demanding that it be, I do not give orders. I give only solutions, I give my opinion, I say what needs my association. And the person or that person who has the power to do something when that person does. But if that person can not do it, so there is no problem. I do not want the gents take the wrong thing.
I just gave my idea to Ms. Mieke and prices in this evil, I think it forces him to help me. But I do not want to. Mieke is a good person, only often in life there are bad expected.

You see if I can not tell you what I need to move my association, how will you know what I need? how will you help me? So if I say what I need it should not be a problem that I wise. So I invite everyone to the understanding. Good news for humanity we must be comprehensive, we must forgive and do good things.

Good day to all.

[Mieke van der Poll]

Dear Soma,

I wish for you that everything you wish for
will come true in your life

When I was your age I had high expectations and visions too.
They did not come out the way I expected them to.

I had to come to the conclusion that the little things in life are the most worthwhile.
The little things like a compliment or a smile given to some one.

Once I found this out, I learnt to be content with what I had.
I started to gather wild flowers and make bouquets of them.
I started to sing for myself and it gave me a warm feeling in my heart.

Believe it or not, by not pushing myself anymore I received the most wonderful things in my life. They all came by themselves, without me having to do a thing for it.

You asked money, I gave it to you from my heart. I did not know that 40 Euros had to be paid to the bank for the transferral.

You asked school stuff. I purchased it but I did not know that it would cost twice as much to send it to you. So I will not send it because I cannot afford to do so.

You kept pushing me through your emails to send more, even send you a photo camera.

I want you to know that if you are pushing people in this way, your will never receive what you wish to receive.

I hope I now have been able to make it clear to you why I will no longer reply to any of your emails anymore.

I pray for you that you will receive everything you dream of.

I started life just as poor as you (as far as money is concerned). I received everything I dreamt of up till now.

But I have done so by appreciating and being grateful for the very little things that make life wonderful.

Just by breathing in and breathing out.

Blessings from the heart phone.

Mieke

[Mieke van der Poll]

I created some simple natural autumn art work again
Just by breathing in and out
Bringing everything around and about
The eternal cycle of
Pleasure and pain of
Being and remain of
Learning and repeat of
Winning and defeat of
Gaining insight and regret of
Being one with the paradox, just like that of
Surrendering to That What Is
And then….. just feeling the bliss
By creating this, forgetting everything around
By just being in the moment, unbound……

[Soma]

Hello dear friend Mieke

While initially I am happy to see you from here, and I'm glad you read. I wonder if he had to write and on this page before you draw me an answer.
I understand everything you said. But do you understand me when I send messages?

To begin, I believe you when you said you had a hard childhood like mine? But your child has it been hard to what extent? During your childhood, you've already spent a whole day without eating? In your childhood you were treated when you were not sick? You go to school right? I do not know if your parents were living near you.
Here it's different life is not easy in many families. There are people who come to the world and n'on never had the chance to go to school, the other died of a disease simply because they have no money for treatment. Other children living in persons who are not their own parents, and children are abused. There is even the traffic of children. You can not understand because you're free to think whatever you want, and also you do not life here for the situation.

1) I never do is ask for your money I'll just talk about my project and I request you're talking about my project in associations and NGOs at home. And so you agree to give me the sum of 100 euro and you asked me if I accept this amounts to 100 euros or not? Some days later I was told that because I accept that the return association approach and must educate their children. We also say that when you would return home to go home to send school supplies by mail and you'll be transferring the sum of 100 euro in my account. A fter I in my mind that it's 40 euro, which has been transferred and not 100 euro, I ask you is whether the transfer came from you? and you have not answered.
After instead of sending school supplies, you want to force things sent to Camp Christmas Child. It's that I do understand is insisting that it is important to send school supplies to send objects to a single camp. Because children must attend school and this will be good for them in their lives.

2) When I was talking to camera, I do not require you to pay it and send it to me, I just ask you to find me a camera, if you can find one. And I say I're not asking you to buy a new appliance, if you find a used one that works its will be good.

3) At the beginning I told you you're Aurora and I need financial help to advance my association, but I need you to advise me and give me ideas. And you agree, then why a simple sore expected you decide not to answer my email? And you make a decision without telling me. If I were you I would not do that, I would try to advise, to understand things. And then when you talk about your life is not like mine. For all that I ask not for myself but for the association. The camera then you talk, I was asked to take the children into picture when we organize activities such as:
_ The delivery of school supplies
_Pendant Camp Noel
Or other activities.

And you know there is an association, so I beg you to let me know what we need to advance the association. And if you can help me in this direction is good, if you can not help me in this direction then help you as you can I not oblige anyone to do anything to be.

4) If you do not want to talk to me so I can not do anything that is your desire, but packet you will always be welcome here and I still count among my friends.


Excuse me, I would return to cyberspace tonight to read your second message I just received a call that there is a neighborhood boy who died this morning. We need to go make our family support. Tomorrow I go to see the girl giving the mother was bitten by a snake. I had to go today, but there are unexpected, a neighborhood child in death. I do not know what it is children so I'll see.
Good day, the day started badly for me.

[Aurora Carlson]

Dear Soma,

I answered to you in another post, but I'd like to send you my love. I know life isn't easy for you, I understand life can be difficult. But as much as someone else can not understand your problems, it is also true that you can not understand someone else's problems. Everyone in this world has problems, and all we can do is be the best we can be. We cannot wait for anyone else to be different, but we ourselves can be different.

So if you wish others to understand you, start by understanding others. Don't compare your situation with what you believe is the situation of another. You do not know the situation of another. Let us not compare and see who has suffered most. Let us see if we have love to give. Love, understanding, lack of judgment is real power.

I hope your day turns into a good one :) Wishing you well,
aurora

[Aurora Carlson]

Dear Mieke,

I'd like to share how much I'm growing from the meeting with Soma. I have "met" him on video-chat twice, and what hit me was how bright he is. I wish you and everyone here could see his smile and hear his well -mannered way of speaking. He is a young man with a heart and a will to learn. His world is totally different than yours and mine... and even if I remember being young, hungry and poor, I must say that his world is truly different than what mine was. Therefore, it is a challenge for me to understand him. All I have to help me is my heart. I noticed how easy it is to connect from the heart with this heart-filled young man, and how even if his context was so different, the connection was all that mattered.

I have also started to allow him to teach me to love unconditionally. Every time my mind goes "I can't communicate with someone in these conditions", my heart finds a new and better way. His manner is often coloured by the world he lives in, by his perspective, and so I need to hear beyond his words. On top of it all... the language! I thank God for having learned enough French to really hear what he's saying beyond automatic translations' harsh clumsiness. And he has to make do with my Google translated words... who knows how they sound to him. Until we saw and heard each other on Skype, he must have taken me for a very unpleasant person.

So I must say that my life is richer for having met him, and it gives me great joy to continue to do as he says- to understand, forgive and do good things.

There are a lot of small and big things to appreciate about Soma, dear Mieke :) He deserves an open heart, like we all do.

Thank you so much for another breathtaking work of art. Our Nature is deeply beautiful.

Love, aurora

[Mieke van der Poll]

Dear Aurora,

If there is one lesson I have learnt the hard way in my life it is that God helps those who help themselves.

When I was in need there was no one to help me and I do really mean no one. I had to figure everything out for myself. And I did, I started from scratch.

It is no good for me to spend another word here on this page. Every word will evoke another word.
In this case all I can do is pray. There is so much injustice in the world. In all the years that I am alive so many people have tried to do something about it, so many people miserably failed.

I have again learnt the biggest lesson: if you want to improve the world start with yourself.
This is what I have always done and by doing that my environment changed with me.
This is the only thing I am able to do in this world.

I do understand Soma's circumstances, but he really did push me, pushed me to send the money sooner, pushed me to send the money through another channel. I was not at home during that time, so I was not able to send him the money. I did it the very day I returned home.

I did not know it costed that much money (40 euros) to pay for the transferral costs.
Soma cannot understand this and I am not able to make it clear to him.

It costs much money to send stuff to Africa nowadays, 1-2 kg costs 24,50 euro and if you are one ounce above you even pay 34,50 euro.

I followed my heart, but now I have come to the conclusion that spontaneity is not the way to go.
To think before doing is better.

I have lost quite a lot of spontaneity by this experience. But in the end it will make me stronger I guess.

Lots of success and goodwill from my part to your vision. At this moment I cannot totally share it anymore.

Love, Mieke

[Aurora Carlson]

Dearest Mieke,
of course you should do as you need to. I just want you to know that what you have done for the world in your life, every bit of it, is extremely meaningful. Every thought, every word, every gesture of compassion, generosity and love have changed the world for the better. Do not doubt it please. We have no way to tell how our actions affect the world, but when they are from the heart, they will always lead to healing- maybe in other ways than we thought. Please do not stop being spontaneously kind. It is what makes life worth living. It is what makes this world go round. Isn't it? You have started as a child without any help, dear one, and you have arrived at the wisdom that your heart is where everything of value is- kindness, gratitude, generosity. Please keep valuing, trusting and following your heart- it knows much better than any of us how to heal us all.
A great big warm hug,
aurora

[Soma]

Dear Mieke

I'm really sorry to see that you do not understand my messages.
You said things that I do not understand. Anyway I respect your decision.
But if you do not want to write about this and also you do not want to talk to me for reasons unknown to me then Soma Lassina I beg you not to pray for me. And I do not want your blessings.
You really think so wrong of me.

I you're never ask for money. It was you who propose to offer me 100 euro. Me every time I check my balance at the bank and one day I see that I received 40 bucks on my account. I do not know who sent me, so I found normal to ask if it was you who finally sent me 40 euros instead of 100 euro as planned. You ask this question, this does not mean that I am not happy. Even if instead of 100 euro you sent me 5 euro's will gladly accept it because there yardstick word that say "have a little something is always better than having nothing." At least I know I have someone who believes in me and that person is you Mieke. But as you always take things the wrong side and you no longer meet my message when you misinterpret my message.
And then I never do is push to send the money sooner. Except when the mother of the girl is doing bitten by a snake and also when I had to quickly come to banfora and I had no motes and when you tell me it was impossible for you to l 'send money I understand you're, I do not know also that you were not at home at home. It later that you've told me.
The only thing I was pushed to do is to leave items in the camp and send supplies to school children. Because I think it's more important and better than the children go to school. And if I do not understand what that thing, why do you only try to make me understand? And even send something in Africa is expensive, you can make me understand, I mean you can not send packages, I'll understand. And instead you decide not to talk to me. I will not be forced to send some things.
And every time I send you a message, I always thank you for what you made for my association. And then when I send some messages are and you have not answered, I're sending messages to apologize, without knowing myself what I could make you well. On your birthday I sent you are an electronic greeting card. You did not even say thank you. I think if you spoke French as me they would never be discussed. I'm afraid you do not understand my messages.

And then I give you advice that I always keep in mind. "Well do is never lost." So that mean you made the same property to a person and he does not recognize, you do well you will be delivered in a manner to another. But I do recognize your well for this reason that in all my post I say that I appreciate you and Aurora.
And also we did not have the same vision. Each person in his own way of seeing things. I am sorry that our friendship ends well. But maybe that is the will of God. But know that I always admire you and if you want you can always be friends, because I am not vindictive.

Good luck and once again thank you all and God

[Aurora Carlson]

Dear Soma,

thank you for your message. I am very glad to have met you on Skype, where we could see and hear each other. With the little knowledge of French I have, I could still see and hear what a wonderful young human being you are. It is also clear to me how good your intentions are.

I think that you are very wise to say that communication is important, that we need to learn how to keep communication open even when things are not easy in a relationship. I think you demonstrate all the time that you are listening to feedback and that you are willing to learn and grow.

Dear friend, I encourage you to dream big dreams and express your needs clearly. It is good that you make a list of things you need and are very clear about it. Your desires are good and honest desires. The only problem is that you think that other people have the power to bring you those things. It is not other people who have the power, but you yourself.

I have given you a number of suggestions, and these are just a few of a million other possibilities. But I will now try to explain how you can grow and find your power. I will use these examples to keep it simple:

- in the case of the computer- you couldn't receive a free computer because you had no friends in New York. This can show you that it is very important to have real friends. A friend is someone who helps you without asking anything in return. You can make true friends by being a true friend yourself. Start living with a focus on being a true friend to everyone you meet. You do not have money to give, but you have many other valuable things: time, love, understanding, attention, etc. Be a real friend to everyone, and you will have friends whenever you need them.

- you don't consider the Fred Foundation because you want a friend first who can submit your project. My advice above is going to help even in this situation. But here you can learn something else. You don't need to wait for a friend, you can start doing what YOU can do. You can make a clear and thorough plan for your association. What do you want to do in a long run? What do you want to do in the short run? How do you intend to reach those goals? Can others use the same system (can more children be helped in the same way)? When you are ready with your clear intention, then even the friend will show up.
Here is the next important lesson: your success is not about having or not having someone else to help you, but about who you are and how clear you are about your goal.

- you made a friend (Mieke) who sent you what you had asked for: money. You did not focus on appreciating her gift, but worried about it being smaller than you expected. This made the flow stop completely. Your lesson is this: learn to appreciate what you have and what comes, as it is. Learn to be honestly grateful. Learn to trust that more good will always come to you. Learn to trust that Life is on your side and wants to bring you what you need. Do not see individual persons as the source of what you need, but see Life itself as the source of what we all need. And Life is what you yourself are too. Open up to contact with your own source.

I am very grateful to you, dear Soma, for teaching me how to love even more. I hear your call for help, and I want to continue to help you find your own power and source. At the same time, you help me learn how to understand and see a bigger picture. You are wise when you say we must strive to understand, forgive and do good things. Thank you dear friend, I am learning with you :)

love, aurora

[Soma]

hello to you and Mieke Aurora.

I am sad to see that this page will also be deleted. This page is a lot to me and I did not lose. I still remember the good time spent together on this page. I also remember the tragic moment, the expected harm. But in conclusion I believe that through these we could we well know. To reassure you too, my goal is not to fall overboard, he only did I need continuous funding to carry out the activity for the association. I hope you continue going to support me in advancing my project.

Good late evening.
