Jeff,
 
I am Dr. Mona Yousry.  You don't know  me.  I earned my PH.D. in Mathematics in 1982 and have served in the  Telecommunications industry for 19 years.  I was recruited by Bell  Laboratories, AT&T, Ameritech, and Sempra Energy.  
 
I have always been impressed by Enron's  performance and business strategies.  I believe you were instrumental in  what Enron is all about today.

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.
 
Mona
 
Lawrence Robinson: Born in Congo, Central Africa, 1952.   
My father was born in Zimbabwe, Africa. My parents and grandparents were  Missionaries. 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 Congo  and from an early age spent lots of time in the African Bush. This was a time to  learn many of the secrets necessary to survive the African bush 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 the 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 cultures. As time passed and Independence swept  the Continent, I saw Zaire, the great land where I was born, turn into a blood  bath. I learned more about 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-lingual and understand three other African languages. I have an  FAA Commercial Pilots license. Educated in Cape Town, South Africa, Singapore,  Beirut, Lebanon, Michigan, and California. Have two B.S. degrees. One in  Agriculture and one in Industrial Education. Have traveled around the world many  times. My longest overland trip was from Germany to Cape Town driving my own  Toyota Land Cruiser. This was a 10 month journey of over 30,000 miles. Crossing  the Sahara Desert and the Kalahari Desert before a GPS was available was indeed  a great adventure. From 1985 to 1992 I owned and operated my own Import Export  Company in Central Africa called "Malaika Zaire".  Presently I am Managing  Director and Chairman of the Board of "Solar Universal Network" - a Californian  Non-profit Organization, 501(c)3. Solar Universal Network 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 using only Solar Energy. This system has been  operating for a year now with outstanding success. When necessary, we also use  UV Water Purification Units powered by Solar Energy to purify any contamination  which may exist in water supplies.  One of the areas we are now working in  is located in Northern 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  area to give birth to their young in the Southern plains of the Serengeti. The  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, Elephant, and many  types of antelope and zebra. Because of the Community Development that S.U.N.  has done in this area, we have an exceptional opportunity to hike, camp, and  hunt with the Maasai in this location. I have personally been within 10 yards of  a lion and his kill while on foot with a Maasai warrior and only a spear in  hand.  Tanzania is also the land of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Serengeti National  Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Victoria, and Zanzibar  Island.
