Journey to Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates

In Ethiopia, the Land of Humanity's Origin, with Koda Darcy Demas, February 2018, on Unity Earth’s Journey to 2030. It was a great journey.

On the last day, we visited the Headquarters of the African Union, where we participated in an Interfaith Harmony Week Event. We were honored to have the President of Ethiopia join us, and the Ambassadors of more than 50 Ambassadors of Nations of the African Union.

After we left Ethiopia, we stopped at the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to visit our Esteemed and Respected brother, Abdul Aziz Al Nuaimi of the Ajman Emirate, for three days.

Just as the Oceti Sakowin, the UAE has the Seven Emirates, or Tribes united together. Tonska Ben Bowler was able to join us for a day in Ajman.

One of the many highlights for me was learning the ablutions in preparation to join our brother at his Mosque, for prayers. Very warm and loving people to all, including Tonska Ben, with his blue eyes and reddish, blonde hair.

I felt no prejudice whatsoever from these relatives. On the contrary, we felt great warmth and love from everyone. They saw One Human Family!

Contrary to the false news that abounds, I have found most members of our Human Family want peace, including our very loved and respected Moslem relatives.
