African Union Response!

For those who read this blog, you may recall that i mentioned AU needs to have an online app to enable people in the diaspora or anyone for that matter to contribute directly for their efforts in Africa. This was precipitated in part by this entry I wrote to the admin then, no response. Tried again and cc’d the webmaster

Your Excellency,
My name is [snip], a [snip] of Kenyan origin. I got the above Contact from the site which is super by the way. As an African, I would like (and I think many other Africans away from home would) like to be able to make a direct financial contribution to the AU using a web application on the African Union site. This would enable your venerable organization to tap into the generosity and ability of Africans to contribute to a specific cause that your organization is working on. An example of this is the UN foundation site https://secure.groupstone.com/unf-donate/donate.asp?program=rwanda
Very thankful for your work and hopeful for a better Africa,[snip]

The response

Dear [Snip],

Thanks for your interest in the African union.
