I always quoted to my parents from Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet. Your children are not your children. They come through you, but not from you. You can give them your love, but not your thoughts, for they come from a land that you cannot enter, not even in your wildest dreams.

My solutions are to include Africa in the global economy, and not African charity, AIDS research, but African infrastructure development.
