While the current focus on globalization is on how its growing reality will affect the world economically,
few are discussing how else it will continue to effect the global culture of humanity: It will continue to
affect the arts, the sciences, the spirituality, and the very ecology of our planet. Today we are at a point between countries, religions and cultures where we will either bump into eac

h
other, walk over each other, or instead we can choose to collaborate with each other consciously
and evolve humanity. If we allow ourselves to grow randomly, we will invite more misunderstanding, more war, and less
innovation. But if we can choose to collaborate responsibly, and thereby become the conscious cultural
creators of humanity's future, that future is limitless! Therefore, it is the purpose of the Memnosyne Institute to aid the people of the world towards not only
becoming conscious of how they are empowered to evolve mankind but also to provide a means for
them to act upon the discovery of their common humanity via a respectful, peaceful, interactive
collaboration in seven main areas of knowledge. Interfaith Inquiry/Initiatives,
2.) Environment/Science/ Economics/Technology, 3.) Health/Medicine, 4.) Indigenous Cultures,
5.) Global & Local Outreach, 6.) Art and 7.) Spirituality. Through both our global programs and our campuses we are attempting to empower diverse people of
the world to handel the challenges of globalization by consciously encourage an evolution for
themselves and for future generations. In the past this has included things such as negotiating the first
treaty in 300 years between Hopi and Navajo Nations to creating our FoodSource program that has saved
$55M worth of food to date to interfaith initiatives t developing an AI “Vital Signs Monitor” to empower
communities to evaluate themselves in relation to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Emmanuel Jal & Mary Ann Thompson-Frenk explain: The African Breadbasket Project - a non-profit/for-profit hybrid strategy

"The Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia, Kenya, etc. are saying that they accept that some of them will die due to the ending of USAID, but if they can plant now, not all of them have to die. It will not only feed the people, but give them hope. But now, The African Breadbasket Project that we, GUA Africa, are doing with The Memnosyne Institute & responsible for-profits, like Baroness Verma's NEXUS GREEN & Kalu Ugwuomo's/Mary Ann's UTF Holdings, offers us more than survival, it offers us a way to help communities to build a future!" ~ Emmanuel Jal

" The Memnosyne Institute is glad we could support GUA Africa's, led by Emmanuel Jal's, efforts to get refugees out of the Sudanese war zone to safety. But now you just have people sitting in the dirt. While Philanthropy is the best solution when an immediate action needs to occur to save lives, it isn't realistic that philanthropy should be counted on for their grandchildren. Now, what's needed is an investment so that one day these communities can be self-sustaining.

Many thanks goes to Lord Andrew Stone for conceiving how we can invest via UTF Holdings to support Baroness Verma's "NEXUS GREEN" bringing refrigerated storage to the farmers, helping them benefit from their seat equity instead of taking a huge loss. Many thanks also goes to Kalu Kalu Ugwuomo, Kiddwaya & Terry Waya for their unwavering support and insights as African entrepreneurs.

By creating a non-profit/for-profit hybrid business model, we can triple profits for investors due to the introduction of cold storage, while donating a percentage of profits to keep this program expanding across the African continent both helping refugees t safety and addressing the shortage of food and grain due to the ending of USAID & empowering economies so that one day, they are empowered to become philanthropists in their own right, capable of uplifting their own communities further."

The Memnosyne Institute and UTF Holdings worked with Baroness Sandip Verma and David Solomons of The Memnosyne UK Chapter enjoyed a productive day exploring how to bring refrigerated storage to farmers so that they don't lose out on the sweat equity of their hard work.

This part of the "formula" will be accomplished via Baroness Sandip Verma's Nexus Green which has a proven track record in India and Uganda. Refridgerated storage is crucial to make the difference for farmers across the African continent & funding it will be part of the for-profit aspect of this hybrid non-profit/for-profit strategy to help the continent of Africa dramatically increase it's grain and produce production. Uplifting maximum lives will take both for-profit and non-profit means strategically aimed at uplifting the communities starting with Ethiopia.

The African BreadBasket Project is a hybrid Non-Profit/For-Profit collaboration aimed to help increase the African Continent's capacity to grow its own grain. (It is a program of the Memnosyne UK Chapter/TThe Memnosyne InstituteUSA with GGUA Africaand UUTF Holdings - People/Planet/Profit SRI's supporting the UN SDG's)

While we mourn the passing of Kenneth Gyado, whose heart was a brilliant light, we are deeply grateful to the Waya family for taking an avid interest in helping GGUA AfricaKenya, (led by EEmmanuel Jalof the Sudan/Canada, with Both Gatwech of Ethiopia), and TThe Memnosyne Institute Memnosyne UK Chapter & UUTF Holdings - People/Planet/Profit SRI's supporting the UN SDG'sto address the dire need to increase grain production across the African continent, beginning in Ethiopia and South Sudan. TThe Memnosyne Institutealso gives thanks to all of the volunteers of Memnosyne UK, especially to Lord Andrew Stone who conceived of the African Breadbasket Project & Baroness Sandip Verma whose understanding of the vital role refrigerated storage can play in this effort. The Memnosyne Institute and its co-founders, Joshua Raymond Frenk and Mary Ann Thompson-Frenk, also wish to publicly thank our board member, Kalu Kalu Ugwuomo, for his continued guidance via connecting our organization with Emmanuel Jal/GUA Africa, Kenneth Gyado & the Waya Family, especially with addressing challenges arising from the ending of USAID.
