It was a fabulous evening where friends of every culture gathered together to celebrate how the cultural diversity and enormous richness of Mother Africa makes the world a better place! The Luc Mbah A Moute Foundation – www.mamfoundation.com is a reg- istered 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Houston, Texas dedicated to inspiring children around the world to believe in themselves, believe in their chances no matter how hard their circumstances are. Going through difficult times as a kid himself, Luc Mbah A Moute is determined to help the kids of the U.S.A., Africa and the rest of the world, contributing in issues such as education, health, and nutrition. Partnering with established and key orga- nizations, the Foundation takes action and makes an impact in communities and individuals that need help and can use Luc Mbah A Moute’s story as an inspiration to set goals for their lives. Guided by Luc Mbah, the Luc Mbah A Moute Foundation has helped several thousand individuals to follow their dreams, get medical treatment, get school supplies, help their community and more through different programs such as the boys and girls of the future, sup- porting the community, notebook giveaway, bringing the gift of hearing to the world, going back to give back and more.
