Congratulations, Salim!

  Your hard work over the past several years is finally starting to gain 
traction!

It's been a long journey since you first contacted the Canadian Biochar 
Initiative in ~May 2009 and you told me about your ambitions ... until now.
   ... But even longer (15 years) since the founding of the African 
Christians Organization Network (ACON) and your pioneering work to 
create Africa’s first biochar initiative.

You are also very much "a man of God for good work".

  Give my best to your wife Everlyne and your two sons Abraham and 
Micheal! :-)

My Richest Blessings to you,
