AYINA THINK TANK RWANDA, GHANA AND MAURITIUS

To Ayina Think Tank, the secret to knowledge is in reading, and you are doing great job initiating early childhood reading ethics. It is amazing how few Kenyans and Africans appreciate the great secrets and wisdom that are hidden in plain sight- in the books. Keep it up and encourage more and more people to read. You have all my admiration and support.

Good job Ayina Think Tank. Every journey starts with a first step. Continue to translate your own into reality with God being your guide. I really appreciate visiting your center and library of Kigali during the 27th African Union Summit on human right in Rwanda. All the best!

May the content of this important book ( The essential Gandhi, an anthology of his writings on his life, work, and ideas) by one of the greatest human beings to live on the continent of Africa and Asia inspire you and the participants to Ayina Think Tank programs. Keep up the values that you already treasure and embrace yourself , my friend Damien Mouzoun.

I comment the work you are doing in Africa through the Ayina Think Tank. Always remember that truthfulness matters and it is a question of resilient leadership and transformation that you instal in the body, mind, heart and spirit of those who will change Africa and the entire world. Thank you for your contribution to our society that desperately needs to come back to moral values and humanity. All the best.

Good morning Mr. Mouzoun , I am a parent of the just ended leadership program that you organized. My two daughters took part in the week long program and I must say they are really happy to have met you. This is to say thank you on their behalf and also to ask that from time to time you get in touch with them to help them bring out their talents. My daughter Sarfoah tells me I can work with you as a volunteer and I pray that her dream of me working with you shall come to pass. I love kids and I will be more than happy to associate myself with your organization. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

” I hope both Madiba’s life and the ‎history of Africa well documented at the Ayina Think Tank will inspire our young people to become better of themselves and serve others wherever they may be. May the good lord bless you all abundantly in all your endeavors ”

Brother Damien Mouzoun, you are an inspiration to youth in Africa. It is great seeing you again with the Ayina Think Tank in Rwanda after Ghana and Mauritius. I think you are doing some inspiring work with the think tank and focus on early childhood education. Africa certainly needs more interventions at the ECE level because as you know this is where the foundation for a lifetime of learning begins. Keep up the great work and I personally wish you and the team all the best as you grow Ayina to greater heights.

Dear Damien, Thank you for your willingness and commitment to educate the African teenagers. I spent fifteen months in Africa myself, teaching in Kumasi and traveling throughout the continent. I suppose one could say that my time there was a kind of detour. I was biding my time until conditions were right for returning to Israel. But what- ever my adventure in Africa represented to me at the time, the fact is I learned things in Africa that proved incredibly useful in ultimately realizing my vision—although, once again, there was absolutely no way to know or predict that in advance. For example, one of the things that greatly impressed me about African culture was its rich complexity—in particular, the way many of the Africans I met seemed to balance comfortably multiple identities. Kumasi is the capital of the Ashanti people, one of the key ethnic groups in Ghana, and it wasn’t unusual to meet people who took great pride in their Ashanti heritage with- out feeling any less Ghanaian. And given the pan-Africanist ideology of Ghana’s founding president Kwame Nkrumah, many also took pride in their African identity as well. After my retirement as CEO of Intel Israel, Instead of an alternative thinking center, (I also decided that adults were hopeless…) and started to promote an initiative titled ‘Noah’s Ark’, to nurture different thinking in preschool children. I wish you success in your adventure with Ayina Think Tank.
