I wanted to extend the invitation to develop a possible partnership between our two organizations to better serve the needs of the youth in Denver. We are a small alternative charter school in central Denver, with devoted teacher, a strong school culture, and the ability to help struggling students get their high school diploma AND have a post secondary plan. I would enjoy the opportunity to speak with someone over the phone or in person about our program and how our organizations can potentially partner. Sincerely, Denise Hartsock 248-412-3783 Hi,

This collaborative arts program involves the making of handmade human bones created by students, educators, volunteers, and refugees which are being made for an exhibition that will be taking place in Washington DC at the National Mall Spring 2013. Each bone generates $1, up to $500,000 towards the relief and rebuilding efforts of CARE, an organization working in Africa. Colorado's goal for contribution is at least 7,000 bones. If Africa Agenda considers this an opportunity of interest, please contact me at 303-242-0956.

Your attorney prepared a dossier & represented him in court to gain legal status. It was denied. Bocar was not given a copy of the dossier, & he has no information, no paperwork.. Can you direct us to someone who might have a copy of his file or any information on Bocar? I have talked with RMIAN, who cannot help but who gave me the name of the last director of RMSC , Regina Germain, who now is with the UN High Commision for Refugees in Washington, DC. Are you able to get her contact information for us? It seems impossible that all files from RMSC were destroyed. We do have Form G-639 Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act Request, which we will submit, but we understand it takes 6 months. Bocar may not be able to remain here that long. Thank you very much. Know that any help you are able to give us will be greatly appreciated.
