It is an absolute honor for me to welcome you here and introduce you to the new and decisive way forward for the people of Bassa Bati Mpoo origin living in the United States of America and in Canada. We dreamt of it, longed for it, deliberated around it, and today, I am delighted to report that it is a reality: the Bassa Bati Mpoo Association of North America (BABAMNA). <\/span><\/p>\nNoticing the substantial number of Bassa Bati Mpoo descendants in North America, we became convinced of the necessity to know one another and unite forces for mutual aid, the promotion of our culture and the realization of major projects. To that end, representatives from places across North America including New York, New Jersey, Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, Maryland, Washington, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, California, Connecticut, Michigan and Virginia, assembled in Manhattan on October 19, 2019, for a special conclave. The immediate outcome of the conclave was the creation of BABAMNA as the federating instrument, and the \u201cSolidarity Bassa Bati Mpoo\u2019 (SOBATAM) as its initial sponsored project. Today, BABAMNA is a dynamic non-profit organization registered in the United States and Canada and headquartered in New York. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
