Greetings! My name is Mazama. I was born and raised, for the first five
years of my life at least, in a town named Kpalime. It is located in the
southern part of Togo, West Africa. When I was Five years old, I moved to a
small town in North of Togo named Kara. Being Togolese, and being raised by
my father, I have learned much about the people of Africa. My Father
taught me about African culture and how many Togolese desire to flee this
poor country and travel to Europe or America in search of a better life.
However, far too many Togolese fail to escape this country and live lives
of poverty, deceit, begging, or theft. They do this because they are
desperate to survive and hope that their actions will somehow give them a
better tomorrow. My vision is to help African people, MY people, to change
their narrow outlook on life by introducing them to my savior Jesus!
God has led me by His great hands to a deep friendship with David. It was
shortly after meeting David that I lost my father. After this deep,
personal tragedy I began to ask myself what my ultimate purpose was. I had
talked with David many times about my vision for the people of Togo and In
2007 I knew I wanted to serve my country along side of Mentor Leaders.
