Yes There is Hope for Africa

Poverty, disease,wars,famines, and hopelessness are adjectives that can be used to describe the life of many Africans. In most African countries living in poverty is the normal way of life, for some a life of luxury is only but a dream and a dream that will never come true.
My name is Elkanah Nyang'au Kingoina and I am a Kenyan. I am 24 years old and currently residing in Troy, Alabama in the U.S.A. I came to America in the summer of 2004 on a student visa to attend school here in Troy University. My life in America has been an eye opener and many immigrants who've come to America will agree with me that America makes you start believing that you can make it no matter how tough your situation is. The American dream as they call it is a beautiful dream that has made this country what it is today- the greatest democracy in the world. I have always wondered what did our forefathers dream of when they were fighting for independence, or even to go even further back what plans did our ancestors have for the future generations to come.
I have a dream of an African continent full of hope, a dream of a people who know just how much potential they have within them, a dream where African countries open their borders and trade freely, and a dream where African leaders are accountable for their responsibilities.
My goal with this blog is to share my dream and also to start a discussion that not only criticizes but also goes ahead to help people realise that the power to change Africa is within us. It is going to be a great ride. Welcome to Afrikaleo, that is Swahili for Africa today.
