Ladies and Gentlemen!
From my years of experiences playing music, touring, living and initiating
social service projects in Mexico and Central America, I want to make a proposal
to you and your supporters. As professionals, bicycle enthusiats and social
humanists, this project will cost you very little to participate in, and will
produce visible results that help to empower and change the lives, for good, of
thousands of people in Mexico and the United States of America.
We are currently building an International Center of cultural and social support
for the Mayan people in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. This center is counting
on the expertise of people and organizations like you and your supporters to
build and maintain valuable and valid bicycle workshops and activities in
support of Mayan peoples and Villages in the municipio of Felipe Carrillo
Puerto, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
We intend to iniciate our partnerships in this project from the United States of
America by asking for donations of money, publicity, bicycles, materials
and parts, used and new, and calling on all citizens of the USA with loving and
giving spirits to unite behind and with the spirit of our project. At a time
when Mexicans are being pounced on in the USA for illegal immigration, let us
focus on some of the root causes of the problems and do our parts as human
beings, without fighting, involving, or waiting for governments and politicians
to do it for us.
There are more information on this project at our website: here
Parts
of the workshops proposed for the cultural center include:
1.NATURE BIKE TOURS
INTO MAYAN JUNGLES FULL OF LAGOONS, WILDLIFE AND THE BEAUTIFUL
CARIBBEAN OCEAN
2.
LIVE MUSIC PRESENTATIONS WITH OUR
SUPPORTING BAND, ROOTS AND WISDOM.
3.
SALES OF CD’S OF MUSIC COMPOSED FOR THE CULTURAL CENTER AND THE BICYCLE
PROJECT.
4.
GRANT WRITINGS FOR FUNDS TO SUPPORT INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL PROJECTS SUCH AS THIS
ONE.
I hope it will be of interest for your organization to work with us and form a
social and cultural partnership on the strenght of your supporters and your
continous work for social justice for disadvantaged people. In any way at all in
which we are able to advance this, let us meet and talk more on specifics and
possibilities together.
Thank you in advance for your co-operation.
Sincerely yours,
Wisdom Ogbor
