I dream of a coming together of not just our hands but our heart. I long for a time when we  will all  join our hands and build our Community, when we will unite and help us all rise together and not exhibit the “Crab mentality” that is very much evident in our region( The Crab mentality or phenomenon states that whenever a crab is placed in a bucket, it can find a way and climb to the top and escape, but if one or more Crabs are added to the bucket, none would escape because whenever any of them tries to climb up, it would be pulled down by the Others, so that they will remain trapped within).

I look forward to an Amadaka that will develop herself from within, and not be divided by political or family differences.
