The Forgotten Children

08/24/2024

My new book, Dream On Seydou, A Memoir Of A Senegalese Immigrant describes not only my challenges in starting a new life in America but also paying forward and remembering my roots. Back in Senegal, I am reminded of the homeless, orphaned, impoverished children who are exploited, abused, and forced to beg and work for their own survival, the idea of helping them is born. My journey shows how one person with a vision can make a difference.
The book will be released and available for purchase on Amazon on SEPTEMBER 01, 2024. Thanks for sharing in my excitement. I can't wait to get my new book into your hands or onto your e-reader device. You're going to enjoy it!

I am truly grateful that the magazine BoldJourney decided to feature me and the work The Forgotten Children been doing to serve orphaned, impoverished and homeless children in M'bour Senegal, West Africa. Here it is:

In 2010 I was called to help children in need and I accepted. While there are positive aspects, rewards and satisfaction in helping and supporting others, especially children, I and the board members who support me unfortunately have to deal with what’s called the secondary traumatic stress. This picture with the two boys is a prime example of that. November 2022, we opened the school and December of 2022, their own mother brought them to the school and vanished. Seven months later, she is nowhere to be found despite numerous attempts to find her. Seven months these two beautiful and amazing kids haven’t seen their mother, no visitation, no calls nothing! I am not sharing this story for you to feel bad but more so as an awareness. We could have easily turned them into the authorities and have them placed into the “system” but I couldn’t do that to them. We The Forgotten Children Foundation will care for them and give them the love and opportunity they deserve and need. Please pray for these two and all the kids we are trying endlessly to help. It takes a team, compassion and love and we can’t do it alone. I thank all of you who have been supporting us all these years and just know that you are changing kid’s lives in ways that you can’t even measure. Believe me, I know times are tough for all of us but these children need us and what we may consider minuscule here can go a long way in supporting them and giving them an opportunity and a chance in life. Thank you for having a heart for what we do. Blessings!!!
If you can and want to help, here’s how you can or you can contact me directly.

Through a partnership in Senegal, TFC received a donation of about 200 plants and trees. This will allow us to make the school more green but also teach the kids how to care for them and be more environmentally focused.
