I found your story to be very moving and inspirational. What impacted me the most in your personal account was how through research and gaining knowledge about stuttering you were able to rise above overwhelming negative feelings to do something positive for yourself and for others. You decided to be proactive and spread that knowledge to other individuals in Africa, like yourself, who may be feeling isolated, and you should truly be proud of your efforts. I think it is quite progressive of you to start a support group and a website, and I was wondering how many people are currently members of your stuttering support group and how far does this outreach through Africa? Also, have you ever thought about bringing this issue up and/or talking with school professionals or students?
