One positive image of you that is rarely seen is the work that you do with Konfidence Foundation. What inspired the vision for the organization?
The slogan of the Konfidence Foundation is, "Believe in the Future of Africa." Our current efforts are centered in Senegal, where we build schools and hospitals. The foundation really focuses on children, because the only thing that can change Africa — the way of thinking, the way of development — is the kids. In order to do that, you got to prepare them for it. We have to make sure that the schools are in great condition and the hospitals have the proper equipment to treat them, so that Africa's children are stable and moving. That way, the future of Africa is pretty secure.
