Hey everyone. My name's Antoine, Antonio, Anthony, or my nickname which is 拖尼, تــونــي or in English, Tony. I am an upcoming freshman at the University of Connecticut. I will be focused on a major in Middle Eastern Studies to pursue in a career with the government. I have previously taken four years in Spanish, three years of French, and my first year in Mandarin Chinese. Now, in my future college education, I will continue Mandarin Chinese and my first year of Arabic, the language of Darfur. I am aware of the genocide occurring in Darfur and it goes to my heart when I see innocent individuals suffering from a lack of daily meals, showers, and qualities of life that they should always have the opportunity to cherish. When I am finished with college, I will be able to utilize their language to help communicate and spread peace to these unique people. I would love to start a group and provide them with donated food and support.

Ok, and now, if you're familar with my work at the following pod:

Then, here's something you'll enjoy…. I'm actually going to sing along to this… so it's not just a poem format…and it's improvised… =]

My Love

You know my love for languages,
Teach me a phrase.
You know my love for culture,
Let me live with you for several days.

I just want to make a change,
Globally around your eyes.
Maybe provide a foreign exchange,
A program that reduces those innocent cries.

Pass this around,
Hug every human being.
Make this profound,
Seeing is believing.

The suffering from the people,
That we never hear about.
Until they are murdered,
And that’s what it’s about.

We need to be aware,
Of the world around.
And we better act fast,
Before they wear down.

Pass this around,
Hug every human being.
Make this profound,
Seeing is believing.

Some people think it’s funny,
To let the water run.
But when Darfur’s in trouble,
They’re not having fun.

Some people think it’s easy,
To go to the grocery store.
But what they don’t realize,
Are the people they ignore.

Pass this around,
Hug every human being.
Make this profound,
Seeing is believing.

You know my love for languages,
Teach me for days.
You know my love for culture,
Let me help those who need our praise.

ACT NOW!
