Recent news of "Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced on Thursday 19 February 2009 about a 48 million dollars in grants for public-private projects designed to boost the incomes of poor small cocoa and cashew farmers in Africa" came after my letter of 18 February 2009 "Ray Kroc Started Mac Donald At 52 Years Old". Whereas in the last paragraph of that letter I wrote "I think the message from all this is that if you happened to agree to purchase my 15 paintings, then besides for the ‘test’ with the cash from you through those paintings purchase, I should also use it to start business so it would be useful to help several persons who in need of getting jobs. Especially in recent world economic crisis where many people lost their jobs". In the accompanying news of that cashew farmers financial assistance from your foundation, AFP wrote: "The project?s goal is to help 150,000 smallholder cashew farming households in Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Mozambique increase their incomes by 50 percent by 2012". The question mark behind the word "project" seems intentionally placed for my attention, probably to let me know about its connection with my letter which concerns about "recent world economic crisis where many people lost their jobs".
Date: Thu, 26 February 2009 11:04WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Your Gels Donation After My New Logo
Something interesting happened yesterday related with my designing a new logo for my new letters "Up 4 Better Days". The concern of beginning a new series of letters had appeared since November 2008 because the space for this 'Closing the Windows of Disasters' has approaching its limit like written in my letter &quout;Approaching the Storage Limit". Actually I also think about writing my next letters in the Facebook, but I worry that it would lead me to write the letters that can only be read by certain people, and it would make people think that I no longer have the transparency of my writing. Yesterday morning I went to an Internet Shop that provides Corel Photo, not too close to the house where I live, approximately 2 miles away, the Prima-net, nearby a pharmacy and a police precinct. Actually I never used Corel Photo to make any designs; I used to make designs with Adobe Photoshop. But the Internet Shop that provides Adobe Photoshop is even much far away, at Pondok Labu market. So yesterday I pushed my self to get familiar with Corel Photo. In the afternoon I went home to have lunch, and then under the drizzle of rain I went out of the house again, to another Internet Shop nearby the house where I live. It was then I found your photo at Yahoo News Photos, stared to the top, with a purple back ground just like the back ground of my new logo. My new logo was no longer using your photo, instead Rahma’s photo when she seem like looking upward. It was her appearance on the day after I wrote "Ninth Dream Comes True, Semanggi Bridge" about me and my brother riding a car moving up at Semanggi bridge. Her photo was not intentionally made that way. You know that some camera need a second or two of half pushing the button to allow the auto-focus to work, and even when the button has been pushed, it requires more time of approximately half a second before the picture was captured. During those moments, the object could have been changing position, and it was then the camera captured Rahma seemingly looking upward. And now after your yesterday’s photo appeared, with the same color of background and same looking upward, I think I should combined it in the logo. To be sure of, this is not about my political moving up; this is about my consent to move up to the heaven above for the good of this world and for the good of human being.
