Walu, 

Am sorry but i did not mean it in that sense, except to give information for
participation. You know am as African as a Kenyan, Ghana happens to be my
locus for coming into time.

On a much lighter note, African tradition demands that if your son in
visiting me, i need to inform you - we need to keep our Africaness
intact....:-)

Dear All,

Hope your morning is well.

Below are some outlets for getting involved in President Obama's visit -
http://www.whitehouse.gov/mediaresources/ 

SMS. We've launched an SMS platform to allow citizens to submit questions,
comments and words of welcome (in English and in French) .  Using a local
SMS short code in Ghana (1731) , Nigeria (32969) , South Africa (31958)and
Kenya (5683), as well as a long code across the rest of the world*, Africans
and citizens worldwide will be encouraged to text their messages to the
President. SMS participants will also be able to subscribe to speech
highlights in English and French. Long numbers for mobile registration
pan-Africa: 61418601934 and 45609910343. This SMS platform is not available
in the US.  We'd love to get a bunch of people signed up and submitting
questions via SMS today. 

Radio.  A  live audio stream of the  President's speech will be pushed to
national and local radio stations during the speech. After the speech, a
taped audio recording of the President's answers to the SMS messages
received will be made available to radio stations and websites. The
President hopes to answer a variety of questions and comments by topic and
region. The audio recording will also be made available for download on
www.whitehouse.gov <http://www.whitehouse.gov/>  and iTunes.

Online chat. We will host a live web chat around the speech on Facebook.
The White House will also create a Facebook "event" around the speech
wherein participants from around the world can engage with one another.  A
Twitter hashtag (i.e. #obamaghana) has been promoted to consolidate input
and reaction around the event.

WhiteHouse.gov/Ghana -  On the day of the speech, we will launch
www.whitehouse.gov/ghana with links to all of the relevant programs and
content (including  transcript, video, etc.) for both domestic and foreign
audiences.  

NB: Sorry for crossposting.
