Charlotte North Carolina Mayor Honors Ambassador Rivers

Mayor Patrick Cannon of the City of Charlotte and Dr. Rivers,
Ambassador at Large for the Republic of Burundi Africa


As the speaker at the Samaritans Feet Barefoot Gala in North Carolina, Mayor Patrick Cannon of the City of Charlotte presented Dr. Rivers, Ambassador at Large for the Republic of Burundi Africa, with a historic coin from the City of Charlotte. Ambassador Rivers was humbled by the wonderful introduction by Mayor Cannon and he said, “Charlotte is a beautiful place and the people so very kind, what a city!” He offered high praises of this great city in North Carolina.
The Barefoot Gala was a one-of-a-kind event. Everyone at the event wore formal attire and no shoes to represent the over 3 billion people around the world with no shoes. In addition, the event was a great success as it looks to help build a school in Burundi Africa.
