A New Journey


Gosh, so much has happened since my last post! Since my visit to Senegal in 2010, I have received many invitations to come to Africa.
I once was a member of SFI and their TripleClicks program getting sign ups and selling products on TripleClicks, the sales were good.
One of my referrals, Sebuhlor of Ghana, had such an amazing interest to succeed in the business, so much so, he gave me his ID and password to check his progress. I got banned for going beyond the called of a sponsor's duties and lost a little commission I earned, money from an order I filled, points, TCredits, and MRP's.
Sebuhlor was disheartened. The ban did not stop him from getting answers to his questions from me. That is what I call a true relationship.
One day, he asked, what other programs are you affiliate with? I gave him my link: http://adv.justbeenpaid.com/?r=wCwW8KNfkL&p=job. He joined and has several referrals! Little did I know he had joined some of my social networks too! He calls me his mentor/teacher and he, my diamond in the rough!
As time progressed, he told me of his journey as a teacher for an orphanage and how he hopes to help the little girls stay in school so they will not fall prey to older men and how sponsorship is badly needed. His dream does not stop there. Right then and there, I realized how we are similar in making a change in west africa!
Our relationship has grown into a business relationship. Here's the kicker, he trusted me so much that he and his pastor sent a barrel of shea butter on Nov. 1, 2011 to sell in the US. I had a time getting it released to me dealing with delta cargo and US customs. I got it on Dec. 15, 2011 which is a far cry from Nov. 21 shipment ready for pickup date.
The plan is to sell the shea butter and kente cloth here: http://www.tripleclicks.com/11514662 and yes, his tripleclicks affiliate account and my home. The shea butter will be in two forms original and whipped in various sizes.
We hope to provide a three village solution and our travel to one anothers country at least every six months. Who knows, maybe a trip for the kids to the US and US kids to there.
One big reason for all sisters around the world to Unite!
