Mr. Kenyada's Neighborhood

CYBER-COMMUNITY COMMENTS

From around Metro Atlanta , and around the World
[The following comments about Mr. Kenyada’s Neighborhood – both the Internet web site and the organization – continue to inspire those who volunteer]

 

If YOU ONLY KNEW how this has fueled me on to get my Degree in Microcomputer Specialist. I started late in life to complete my education at age 46 and being an African American Male has been rough over the years, but I WILL make it. Thanks to you, Brother!!!!!!.

I'd just like to offer my encouragement and gratitude to you for not only recognizing the importance of an informed society, but doing something about it. Yours in Brotherhood –

Richard. Thanks for the example you are setting for us. The AJC story on Sunday served as the quality time-sharing for my kids as we read and talked about your vision for the web page. It, "Kenyada," has been added under our favorite places. Please keep it going!

Mr. Kenyada, your website is the most inspiring I have ever viewed on my screen. Keep up the good work and may the Lord bless you. I have told so many of my friends about your website.

Read about your site in the 6 Jan 99 AJC article. Took a quick gander at it and want to add my compliments on such a POSITIVE effort. I wish you MUCH continued success.

Hurray for Mister Kenyada and all those who support him and his philosophy. His insight and dedication to the African-American community is greatly appreciated, I only wish we had more like him to make a difference. My daughter was one of the recipients of his "computers to the people" and it has made a significant impact in her life and her families'. It has opened up a whole world for all of us. The only problem now is everyone in the house wants to use it at the same time, even her father who is totally computer illiterate, now uses it to tap into the web. WE LOVE IT AND YOU, MR. KENYADA!!!!

Excellent job being done for our children/If the connection can be made with our children in Africa than the cycle will have been completed.

I think this is FANTASTIC!!!! It's high time that someone took the time to show an interest in the welfare of the black community. Keep up the good work.

Mr. Kenyada, I read your article in the AJC. The information in the article confirmed some of my thoughts of the computer literacy level of our folk. From my first hand survey your reports are pretty accurate. I usually ask my clients are they on the net. You know the answer. Your article is timely because I am sure it is going to wake up a few folks. Sometimes it takes pioneers such as yourself to bring us into reality. Keep up the good work!

Mr. Kenyada, I heard about you through a recent article in the Atlanta Journal/Constitution, which provided information on a recent study showing the disparity in computer and Internet access among African Americans. I'm glad to know your site exists. I will want to get in touch with you regarding a proposal to establish a community technology center in Atlanta 's Empowerment Zone.

Hi! I found your WEB SITE address on the Asahi Evening this morning. I have been interested in African-Americans. Mr. Richard Kenyada, I want to know more about African- Americans in the United States .

...Well, this is my second visit today!! And, yes, I am at work -- recent to Atl from Phl -- on the rumor of all the positive things going on here -- as an IT person myself, your website, the content, the look and feel is one of the most positive I've encountered so far -- Keep up the very fine work

I just started checking this web site out. So far I'm liking it a lot. We need more organizations such as this one today. The idea for getting the youth more and more involved in computers is a beautiful thing. All of you are to be commended. I will be coming back to this site to see what other interesting things you're doing to help the children in the community to be inspired to do more with PC's in their everyday life. Hats Off To You!!!!!

This is a great program! Our school has a technology night, it will be January 11 at 7:00 pm . We will have a special technology program that is given only to a few schools across the nation. I would like to highlight your program, "PCs to the People" and give away a computer to a deserving student. How do you choose your students? Can you help me with this project? The added publicity might bring in more help for you. 
Sincerely,

Your organization is truly an inspiration for those of our community. This revolution may not be televised ... but you are getting the word to the masses in this new medium of communication. I wish you the best .....

Our hero - Yes you all are. Hats off to the energy, compassion, love and most of all the willingness to surrender and serve. God will continue to bless you for being obedient.

I really enjoyed learning more about your organization. It is unique in a sense that it is using computers to bridge the gap. I hope to hear and learn more about your organization in the very near future

I heard about your website during your guest appearance on the 107.5 F.M., Sunday a.m., talk show, this morning. I had to check it out. Based upon what I found, I'm glad I did!

This is the first time hearing about your website. It was mentioned in the Atlanta Constitution today and I became curious. I agree with you 100% regarding our people perceptions. We must convey the message throughout our communities/environments that being able to access and process information globally from the home will be another utility. The computer will be the vehicle. The saying, "It takes a village.....". is absolutely true. We must all offer support. …..I will be more than happy to volunteer my time and assist in any way possible. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!

I am most grateful to see African Americans doing such positive things in the community, especially the cyber-community. Keep up the good work and stay positive.

I am new viewer to your site. What caught my eye initially was your Core Values. The part about, we will not fight fire with fire, but we will fight fire with water and to build rather than destroy; to listen as intently and purposefully as we speak, etc. MY SENTIMENTS, LOUD AND CLEAR. I also believe that each one of us has a responsibility to do something. (Each 1 Teach 1) Be it volunteering or just in our own neighborhoods. Form cleanup crews, if that is what's needed. Whatever needs to be done. We don't have to wait until the government decides to throw us some crumbs before we react. We should all be focusing on the same thing and that's to ensure that when our children take our place, that they will be well equipped with the knowledge and support that they will need to be successful. I will now go back and check out the rest of your site. Thank you and continued success to you and your site.

Hi, Mr. Kenyada, I received your website address from a friend and how bless we are today. We as African-American have the power through knowledge and I thank GOD for you sharing this knowledge. I salute you in your endeavors and may GOD bless, lead and guide you all the way. Thanks....

Mr. Kenyada I am so thankful for your site. My brother called me last night because of information you had that would benefit my students interested in computer technology. He found you by accident. Thank you again.

Hotep. This is a blessing for our youth. We must educate ourselves. "Education is the passport to the future for those that prepare for it today." Malcolm X ……Keep on striving.

I reviewed your site after reading the AJC. It is truly a well-organized website. Since I teach computer desktop application classes, my initial interest was on your computer literacy article. If you ever need someone to conduct a free training class let me know.

Richard, I would like to commend you on seeing your vision come to reality. You had a dream about this site and now many share your dream. Keep up the good work and God Bless You.
