African Networking Luncheon Report

African Networking Luncheon Report by UPF of North Carolina

On Wednesday, October 16 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM  , UPF of North Carolina led by Mrs. Sharon Pace (UPF SR2 Regional Director) sponsored an African Networking Luncheon at the Yagg Sii Tenn African Restaurant in Apex, North Carolina.

Guests were invited to come for an exciting opportunity to network, share ideas and connect with others involved in any local activities that also are connected to any African countries! (The cost was $20 for the event and buffet lunch)

There were almost 30 participants and everyone enjoyed a delicious African Buffet. Pearl Alonso was the MC and Mrs. Sharon Pace showed a video about UPF in Africa and she introduced everyone to the UPF international web pages.

Several songs were performed by Hak Wa Suttles, a young “second generation” Family Federation Church member with Pastor Bob Huneycutt , of the Triangle Family Church.

Six different guests were able to share with everyone about their own personal efforts to bring peace and the activities they support or created locally to connect to Africa and African people.

Dr. Achille Acolatse came to the event from Washington DC and he gave an inspiring Powerpoint Presentation about Family Federation and Mother Moon’s efforts to bring God’s love and Peace to African Countries  

The owner of the Yagg Sii Tenn Restaurant (known as Pappa) is from Senegal and serves local North Carolinians traditional African dishes from many African Nations. He gladly opened his Restaurant to this inspiring event and he was able to share about his Muslim faith and his families love for Africa and America.

Everyone seemed to really enjoy and appreciate the opportunity we had to share and meet with each other. We ended the luncheon with a group picture.
