Enron Mail |
Jeff, =20 I am Dr. Mona Yousry. You don't know me. I earned my PH.D. in Mathematic= s in 1982 and have served in the Telecommunications industry for 19 years.= I was recruited by Bell Laboratories, AT&T, Ameritech, and Sempra Energy= . =20 =20 I have always been impressed by Enron's performance and business strategie= s. I believe you were instrumental in what Enron is all about today. =20 =20 I read an article about you and your zealous interest in Africa. You need= to meet Larry Robinson. The following is in his words. Please read it. =20 Mona =20 Lawrence Robinson: Born in Congo, Central Africa, 1952. =20 My father was born in Zimbabwe, Africa. My parents and grandparents were M= issionaries. My grandparents went to Africa from California in 1912 and are= both buried in Africa. I was raised in very remote areas of the Belgian C= ongo and from an early age spent lots of time in the African Bush. This wa= s a time to learn many of the secrets necessary to survive the African bus= h and love it. I had the opportunity to study and learn animal behavior in= ways that most experts only dream about. Some of my greatest memories are= from times I would take a pocket full of salt with my rifle and go into t= he bush for 10 days to 2 weeks at a time, sometimes totally alone. It was = also a time to learn about the African people and their languages and cult= ures. As time passed and Independence swept the Continent, I saw Zaire, th= e great land where I was born, turn into a blood bath. I learned more abou= t the most savage creature of all. As I saw men slaughter men, women, and = children, I understood better how organized and balanced nature really is.= I am a U.S. Citizen and Resident in Tanzania, East Africa. I am tri-lingu= al and understand three other African languages. I have an FAA Commercial = Pilots license. Educated in Cape Town, South Africa, Singapore, Beirut, Le= banon, Michigan, and California. Have two B.S. degrees. One in Agriculture= and one in Industrial Education. Have traveled around the world many time= s. My longest overland trip was from Germany to Cape Town driving my own T= oyota Land Cruiser. This was a 10 month journey of over 30,000 miles. Cross= ing the Sahara Desert and the Kalahari Desert before a GPS was available w= as indeed a great adventure. From 1985 to 1992 I owned and operated my own= Import Export Company in Central Africa called "Malaika Zaire". Presentl= y I am Managing Director and Chairman of the Board of "Solar Universal Net= work" - a Californian Non-profit Organization, 501©3. Solar Universal Ne= twork is also established in Tanzania as an International NGO since 1995. = S.U.N.'s primary focus is to establish safe, permanent, water supplies for= communities in Tanzania using alternative energy. An example of our work = is at Sukenya, Northern Tanzania where we are pumping approximately 12,000= gallons of water per day from 250 feet deep for the Maasai Community usin= g only Solar Energy. This system has been operating for a year now with ou= tstanding success. When necessary, we also use UV Water Purification Units= powered by Solar Energy to purify any contamination which may exist in wa= ter supplies. One of the areas we are now working in is located in Northe= rn Tanzania just South of the Kenya boarder and just East of the Serengeti= National Park. This is considered Maasai Land and is fascinating country.= Each year hundreds of thousands Wilderbeasts migrate south through this a= rea to give birth to their young in the Southern plains of the Serengeti. T= he great migration is considered one of natures last unmatched marvels on = earth. This is the time when the predators like lions, leopards, cheetah, = and hyena are roaming the area. There are also heards of Cape Buffalo, Ele= phant, and many types of antelope and zebra. Because of the Community Deve= lopment that S.U.N. has done in this area, we have an exceptional opportun= ity to hike, camp, and hunt with the Maasai in this location. I have perso= nally been within 10 yards of a lion and his kill while on foot with a Maa= sai warrior and only a spear in hand. Tanzania is also the land of Mt. Ki= limanjaro, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Victoria, and = Zanzibar Island.
