Andai,
New Year Message from the President
On behalf of Ebira Vonya International (EVI), I am sending you my greeting. I would like to wish you a Happy New Year and pray that all your dreams and expectations are met in this coming year. I urge all of you to include the entire Anebira and our homeland in your prayers as the 2006 draws to an end.
Today, I would like each of you to reflect back at these past two years during which EVI evolved gradually to its current state, a more stable state. We have gone through difficult times and have emerged out of the woods several times by rekindling the fire that is in each of you keeping the organization alive. By all account and given its international nature, EVI is the first organization ever formed in Ebira land and hence, it is understandable that EVI had to face some difficulties along the way.
Today we all have every reason to be proud of ourselves, as we have been able to harmonize our differences and unite as one in the drive to aid our ailing society. Reflecting back on 2006, we have achieved some measure of success:
o In April 2006, we held AGM for Region #5– we were able to raise substantial amount of money.
o EVI is now officially registered in Atlanta, Georgia.
o We have sent a sum of US$2000 home to aid the victims of Ihima crisis.
o Our website is gradually being developed.
o EVI has been working closely with Ebiraview.
o EVI is growing as new members continuously register
We now look with great optimism to 2007. The preparation for the next AGM is already underway. We expect a record turn out of Anebira in Maryland, where the AGM will be held. The major focus of our meeting will be on helping the Anebira youths so that they grow to become useful to the community.
As we get into the new year, I urge you to reflect back on the lives of our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, cousins, nieces, neighbours etc that are no longer with us as a result of the violence in our land and remember that we are lucky to be alive today. Let us now ask ourselves a single question: how can I be of help to my homeland? The simple answer is to look beyond personal gains and render any little help you can afford unconditionally. This is what EVI is all about. I am asking you to become active in EVI and render ideas on how we can put our hands together to rekindle the fire of live, love, togetherness, oneness, hope, joy, beauty, positive thinking, respect, kindness and eternity in Ebiraland. I believe that we can be all of the above only if we put our mind to it. The reward of helping our land is enormous and has no boundary as this will result in a vibrant society that our people will relish and others will admire. So, do not be left out as we achieve milestone after milestone on our way to reviving our society.
May you be blessed in this holiday season. Thank you for your time.
