There is only one Jeff DeFlavio listed on intelius.com. If this is the same DeFlavio quoted in POLITICO, Dave is correct. This report is flat out dishonest.

CGI U. A PROJECT OF THE CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE

Banaa: The Sudan Educational Empowerment Network

Justin Zorn and Jeff DeFlavio, George Washington University

Founded at George Washington University by a group of student anti-genocide activists, Banaa matches Sudanese survivors of atrocity with scholarship opportunities in the United States. The organization maintains a database
of highly qualified students working for peace in Sudan who wish to further their education. Empowered with a university degree, Banaa Scholars return to Sudan with the technical skills necessary to address the complex causes of conflict in the region, which has affected over 4.2 million people.1 At CGI U 2008, Banaa committed itself to provide scholarships for 20 qualified, conflict-affected young Sudanese students by summer 2009, as well as match these students with mentors at leading NGOs, who will help them hone their skills and amplify their ambitions to be life-long public servants to their home country.

ÌÌObtained support of The George Washington University, which has agreed to support Banaa’s 2008 pilot program benefiting an exceptional Sudanese student, currently working as a teacher in the Kakuma Refugee Camp, who will begin his studies in the fall of 2008. Additional funding for logistical costs and additional living expenses was provided by the Vittantonio Foundation, the David Miller Foundation, and student fundraising efforts.

ÌÌExpanded to include Mills College, the College of Idaho, and Coe College of Iowa, which have financed full tuition Banaa Scholarships starting in 2009, as well as Tufts University, which has begun fundraising efforts, Banaa Student Chapters were also launched at 25 other universities.

ÌÌEstablished partnerships with foreign dignitaries, scholars, political leaders, and NGOs in both America and Sudan, who will help identify potential Banaa scholars, ease their transition to life in the United States and serve as professional mentors.

Thanks Maggie.

The old Latin phrase/question, Cui Buno, who benefits?

“No Trump” as president, appears to really benefit this guy.”

Great work again Maggie. Liz’s questions are interesting. Where does he get his money.

An earlier thread mentioned the heroin addiction in both NH and VT were top of charts. Since ours is also in rural IN with the Aids epidemic that comes by using shared needles I can relate. The one clinic close to courthouse confirms a suspicion many have had here. Heron is cheaper than local made method here. Mexican drug cartel is moving in with the local field hands.

Too bad the media doesn’t research people as well as Freepers do! Or, if they did they certainly didn’t share it with their readers!
