I am pursuing my dream to be a doctor. I would appreciate your assistance.

I am Kwami Abdul-Bey (formerly known as Lorne Brandon Moore). I was born and reared in Little Rock, Arkansas, where I graduated from Little Rock Central High School in 1989. I am the son of Maudella Lorene Morehead and the late Edward James Moore.

For most of my adult life, I have been a educator.

Now, after many, many years of dreaming, I am finally heading down the road to becoming a doctor!!!

In July 2008, I will be leaving Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for good to attend the Latin American School of Medicine in Havana, Cuba. But, before I go there, I will work as a volunteer this summer at Dr. Patch Adams' Gesundheit! Institute in West Virginia. While there, I will have the opportunity to learn the fine art of of clown doctoring on the farm where Dr. Adams is building America's first and only totally free hospital.

It is my goal to raise a minimum of $3000 to cover my travel and book costs and to put some cash in my savings account so that I can have something to fall back on for incidentals since I will not be working for the next few years. (My room and board will be taken care of during this upcoming period.)

So, I am selling EVERYTHING that I own. And, I am also depending on the kindness of family, friends, and total strangers who are interested in making at least a $10.00 donation towards dream-making goal.
