One of my major inspiration to remain myself, my own individual
The tee that u can buy to support that foundation's effort
One of the young lady that Batonga has supported in her academic journey
Another one from Sierra Leone
Angelique visting, supporting African sistas in need
La grande Angelique Kidjo
It means so much to these families to know that people care
Using her talent to touch lives
Liya supporting Angelique's efforts
Did you know that Angelique invented the term "Batongo" u know from her song appropriately titled Batonga...lol..she created this word when she was young kid going to school when boys were making fun of her..
Today she's so thankful for her academic exposure,
this goes to say that having an education doesn't necessarily means being a doctor, it just opens your mind to other things...it's
priceless
going to school is something we should truly thank our parents for.

Batongo's aim is to help young girls 2 get an education through donations, it's a US Based non profit organisation, they support mentoring programs for young girls in Africa, gives them scholarships,encourage school enrollment, help build school..etc..
This is the type of piece that gives me great joy in blogging, I am so passionate about non profit efforts that are being done effectively toward our continent...absolutely loves it!!
BATONGA is in full effect in Benin, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Mali for now..pass the word around people...it can always help!
You can also personally help, by buying 1 of the tees for $ 15.95
Actually I am so inspired by this, that Im going to start my first contest w/this tee shirt, the first person to write me w/Angelique Kidjo's birth date will get this tee,my email is yayemarie2226@yahoo.com
Here's the webbie:
Here's miss Kidjo performing w/the Children Choir for Batonga:
