Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA, Historian, and author of the groundbreaking book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY, is also a great humanitarian. His missions to Africa to do free eye surgery for people who otherwise would not be able to afford it is legendary. His work so effective he was awarded the title of Honorary African Chief.
Dr. Vaughn has raised over $32,000 for eye medications for ASA-USA Medical Missions. It's rare when people do good deeds that folks say thank you beyond the moment, if then. Below is one of the rare exceptions to that, including a list of other contributors, who should also be honored and supported.
Thanks so much Dr. Vaughn for all the heroic work that you do. You are a model of greatness for us all to follow...and your book is still the best look into Black history I've ever read...dreams achieved.
God's eternal blessings to you and your family and crew.

Dear Good Stewards:
"We are using this opportunity to thank Dr Leroy Vaughn for arranging the donation of $32,587.54 worth of eye medications from a major Pharmaceutical manufacturing company. Dr Leroy Vaughn is the Ophthalmologist / Surgeon who travels with us yearly to our ASA-USA Medical Missions. Please help me in thanking him for his generosity and kindness to Ndi-Igbo and Ndi-Anambra." Dr Nwachukwu Anakwenze, President ASA-USA.
Dr Vaughn is not stranger to yearly ASA-USA Medical Mission to Anambra State. He makes far-reaching financial sacrifices every year for the benefit of Ndi Anambra in particular and Ndi Igbo in general. Imagine closing down his Clinic for 4 weeks every year, takes his employees along to Medical Mission, lose money while in Anambra State and yet pays his employees. Let us assume $50,000 to $100,000 per day in lost income, so for 4 weeks, you got the picture.
Dr. Vaughn does not claim citizenship of any Anambra State towns. Humanitarianism, volunteerism and generosity are habits most of us are yet to pick up from Americans even though we have lived here for decades. Be a good steward of resources ( time, money, knowledge, influence, expertise, network etc) God entrusted in your care! Use these resources judiciously in the service of God and mankind. Do not walk the other way!
I am calling on all men and women of Goodwill to stand and be counted. The "harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few". Won't you volunteer for this year's Medical Mission or volunteer your money instead? If you plan to help us help our people this year, NOW IS THE TIME as timely purchase / shipment of drugs and supplies cannot wait.
I am appealing to all ASA-USA leadership, membership and well-wishers to "CASH IN" on your influence and Goodwill by asking your friends, business partners and EMPLOYERS to make a tax-deductible donation (cash and supplies) towards 2009 ASA-USA Medical Mission to Anambra State, Nigeria. You will be amazed at the response you will get for just asking. Do it for the least among us, the poor and the sick at home. Let us turn our passion to assist our people into action by collectively throwing ropes of hope to the poor and sick drowning in poverty and disease at ground zero.
"Ours is a call of hope and capacity. It envisions individuals, Families, communities working together to bring about in a lasting way conditions that upgrade all aspects of health that include physical, emotional, economic, social, environmental and spiritual well being. No calling is higher and I have not been taking it lightly, neither should you". Dr. Chris Emeka Uddoh
