Clyde Rivers, Ph.D., Honorary Ambassador-at-Large for Republic of Burundi is now connecting with top community leaders in California. Rivers said today, “It is good for Burundi to work in the mulit-cultural arena globally. The Latino community in California is working to make a positive assimilation into the communities of California. The Latino community has always been supportive of the work I have done in Africa. A leading example of this is seen in my connections with Dr. Manuel Tigerino. He is the Founder of Latin University of Theology, as well as, the Founder of Community Mentorship Connection. Dr. Tigerino has always moved with action to help Africa. He has taken medical supplies into Africa. He has supplied funding to help with the First Ladies Hospital in Uganda. Furthermore he has brought honor and education to top leaders in Africa. Following in his steps is his son, Pierre Tigerino, as Vice President of Community Mentorship Connection, has also taken a strong stance to support me in Africa.”

Dr. Rivers goes on to say, “Dr. Tigerino is truly a mentor to all. He is an important Christian connection and as a community development leader for the Republic of Burundi, we will get many things accomplished with him on board.”
