重返华府途中
日前接到几内亚驻美国大使佛班电话, 希望我能迅速回到华盛顿接待几内亚政府访问美国之代表团,今晚我即搭机回到华府,準备明天参加接待代表团之会议。
就职為西非几内亚驻休斯敦名誉总领事已经三年多,一直期望能為几内亚带来一些贡献。目前正在筹划从休斯敦捐助一批医疗设备,并且已经得到好友布朗麦医生之首肯,将把一批新旧之牙医设备捐给凢内亚之公立医院,同时和莱斯大学就有关学术交流為几内亚提供基本之医疗援助。
在我的人生规划中,曾经在大学时非常羡慕外交官对国家之贡献,希望有朝一日能代表国家出席各项国际会议,这个梦想始终未能如愿。一直到四年多前,在一次接待几内亚总统来访之机会被总统孔戴任命為驻休斯敦之名誉总领事,非常偶然地成為外交代表并参加了休斯敦外交领事团, 虽非全职,但也能為早年之愿望得予实现。
On My Way To Washington, D.C.
After I received a call from the Guinean Ambasador Kaba last week, she wanted me come to Washington to greet a delegation from Guinea. Tonight I am on my way again to our nation's capital.
I was appointed by the Guinean government almost four years agoas the Honorary Consul in Houston, Texas. Since then, I have tried to do my best to help this western Africa country out with efforts
of a donation of medical equipment and the promotion of education. Finally, we received some donated equipment and got it ready to ship out to Guinea. In my early years, I dreamed about becoming a diplomat
and participating in international meetings and enjoying the real diplomatic life, but it was not what I had really wanted at the time.
Many years later I came to Houston because I had an opportunity to greet President Conde at my home. Suddenly, I was appointed as Guinea's representative in Houston, Texas.
I am very proud and honored to hold this esteemed title that has made my dream come true.
