Thanks to the beloved Idren for the encouragement in these matters.
Just so you know, regardless of where I open my school, I plan to not charge for my services. Also, I would like my school to be similar to the old Chinese schools, where the students live at -and care for the school. In America, I would set up labor contracts with local companies, and have the students go to work part time, (4 hrs or so) to cover expenses -then train another 10hrs or so each day. In Shashamane, I have no idea how I would do this. I'm not trying to make money from this... but I do need to figure out a way to do this. After all, myself, and my students have to eat, you know? I'm also starting (sort of) to get into real estate..... maybe if I am blessed with a lot of money from that, I can just pay all the expenses myself.... If not, maybe it would work if the students just farmed on part of the school's land.. maybe figure a way to put a pond with fish.... Where there is a will, there is a way... And if the good Idren of Shashamane want the teachings, I will find a way. I'm not in the martial arts for money, just to prepare myself and my Idren for the times at hand, seen? Any ideas on how to do this, let me know. Your words are, to me, Jah's own words.. coming through the I them --like a singer's words coming through a speaker. Thanks again, Idren, you give me extra drive to make sure this happens one day. And 'nuf thanks and praise to the Most High for leading me to such a source of knowledge and love....
Guidance, beloved, Guidance.. Selassie I Bless
