Introductory Post Convention Message from the New FA President Mola Sam Moki

Wonya Moe,

I know we are still suffering from Convention Withdrawal Syndrome, a sophisticated way of saying that we had all the fun we could. "The Little Chapter that Could" gave us a wonderful reception. We truly felt at home. On behalf of Fako America, I say thanks to the members of the planning committee and to the entire Dallas molas and iyas who went all out to make our stay comfortable. Special thanks to Fako Dallas President, Mola Edwin Ndoko and to Mola Henry Njie for running around non-stop like an energizer battery.

Dear Wana wa Fako,

It is with great joy that I announce the launching of www.fakoamerica.org the official website of Fako America Organization on this day Saturday June 5, 2004.

Back in the mid and late nineties, while many Cameroonian cultural groups were busy establishing some form of web presence, Fako America was still relying primarily on cumbersome communications tools, such as regularly outdated mailing lists, for the sensitization and mobilization of the Fako Diaspora community in America.
