I am fortunate to work in Africa regularly and through this have met some great people. My latest trip took me back to the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire and Belgian Congo) where I attended a number of events for the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation (www.dmf.org) (http://www.dmf.org%29), including the opening of their hospital. It was a great event and as I knew there would be a ton of documents to sign I made a few for Dikembe, Juwan Howard and a few others. They were really happy with them and other people wanted to know where I had bought them as they wanted to buy a few. In any case, I was really impressed with the hospital and everything the foundation is doing for the community.
The pens the cigar style using mango, cocobolo, sapelle, kingwood, red palm and mango/walnut. The other picture shows me and Dikembe (he's the tall one).
Thanks,
Ben

Just like water, the written word is a constant and most powerful force. Well done for enabling more of it.
