 "We are working with the Fon to use modern technologies such as the social media to address all our brothers and sisters around the world.We will award scholarships, provide drinking water and a liberary to help educate our children."

The idea of the diapora to come in and develop their community was bought by Fon Forchesiri III of Bamendakwe village,

"we understand the role the diaspora can play in the development of our community and that explains why we have invited them so that we can work together as one for the sake of our village." Fon Forchesirri III explained.

Worthy of note is the fact that, the Fon's palace now has a new facelift thanks to the diaspora.

Many are of the opinion that if the people of Bamendankwe village both in and out of the country come together as one, the development of the village will be unstoppable.
