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(c)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.
