Tamba Keifa 5 April 2013 - 1:46am / Southern Guinean/Son of Guinean Entrepreneur and Sierra Leonean Mother

My name is Tamba Keifa. I am a son of Southern Guinean entrepreneur and Sierra Leonean Mother. My objective of contacting you is to make an appeal to please give me the opportunity to reach your listeners, organization, and parties of interest-the Guinean State about my OffGrid Solar Projects specifically designed for urban and rural Guinea that will help in the Urban and rural Electrification and solar job force development in Guinea, the region, and the eventually the whole of Africa. I named my company MaFisco Solar Mining after the two biggest rivers in Southern Guinea the river Makona and the Mafisa rivers. Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
