African Development Plan

Organizations· Chicago, IL

Hi, my name is Cecile Johnson, and this site is my vision. It is in response to a question that Nelson Mandela asked &nbsp;in the 2002&nbsp;Millennium&nbsp;Development Goals Report. A dismal report that broke my heart and started me on this journey in 2008.&nbsp;<br /><br />It is my response to my ancestors calling me to task, to do something more than talk and theorize. It is my response to the children here and yet to come. I am obligated to protect them and create a future they can live with, thrive and be&nbsp;successful&nbsp;in.<br /><br />I hope that you will join me as we gather the village members and remember we are an African people. We are a communal culture.&nbsp; I am calling the village. &nbsp;I need your help.&nbsp;<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span>
