Amazing coverage

dear viewers and readers,
You've been hundreds of thousands throughout the US to follow our programme. We are delighted to announce you that our series has been played on 408 PBS stations so far (and they count 450 in total) Among which the 25 biggest and the 102 analog channels. A home run ! But there is a funnier number : 18864 episodes have been aired ! It makes it a total of 340 days of permanent coverage.
We are very far ahead from the 125 stations we dreamed of.
All this happened thanks to you. (and to the sponsors that brought you the programme)
For instance Hi-Tec shoes gave 40 000 dollars for their billboards before and after each episodes : it means that 37728 billboards were shown. For a cost of one dollar and six cents each ! Wo can beat that ? We keep steady to our motto that we share with Hi-Tec shoes : "do more with less"
If you want to go deeper into the story you can dive into our two volumes published courageously by Inkwater press available online on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles and Inkwaterpress.com
And if you don't have the time to read, you can listen to our audiobooks on Audible.com
Our plan is to go back in Africa with some funding with and eye surgeon from Alaska : help us by getting the books !
Yours africally
Alexandre

It was very difficult to be wellknown in the States but now it's OK . Congratulations .

Hi Nicole, what are you doing on this English side of the blog?
I wanted to say thank you to Alex and Sonyia for a really great documentry series on television and for the information and knowledge,humanity you both have shown by doing this interesting adventure. I should say first off that i appologize if I have spelled either of your first names incorrectly but I don't know french at all. I think you both should be given many awards for heroism and humanitarian work. You both deserve the Nobel Peace Prize from the United Nations and much more for your adventures have given to the world of science and human understanding of earth itself and the world we live in. Your and you lovely wife are really great people who have shown mankind what earth is all about. I can only think of a few other in the history of the world that are on your level and have as much impact and gained as much knowledge as both of you. I think that you both should be given by the the Vatican Saint hood as you both are examples of doing mercy and caring for earth and the poor for the good of all mankind and much more that you both have done. As I said only a few people come to mind have made such a contribution to the world as both of you have done. I think of you both as in the same class of Saints such as Mother Teresa and John The Baptist and also even Saint Peter .. I think of one scholar of science and history named Henry Romer who spent his whole life studying the Bible and all the real places in it much as both of you have done.. He was a great mind and author of many books and documenty series on telivision on Egypt and the Valley of the Kings and other Bible places. You both have a great gifts you are giving to the world and you both are deserving of the gifts you should be receiving now and all the future to come.. God Bless you Both Alex and Sonyia
p.s. you and your lovely wife Sonyia have a wonderfull happy day... I live in the USA and watch you both grow closer together as a couple .. good for both of you!!!
thank you very much mr or mrs ********* for your kind words. They are nonetheless far overestimated, and I wish I had done much more. But if we've touched your heart and opened it to new african realities it was worth it to walk. Please find the books or ask your closest library to get them to go deeper in the story. Yours africally

Bah tu vois Alex, les anglophones ne commentent pas souvent, mais quand ils le font, c'est pas à moitié!
Enfin des anglophones qui se réveillent !! Mais après ce qu'ils ont vu .....d'autres commentaires vont suivre ; ce n'est que le début ... Oh ! Agnès tu as oublié que j'ai toujours fait de l'anglais et avec mes petits enfants à Londres il a fallu s'y remettre sérieusement . Julie , 7 ans , et Mathis , 4 ans , sont complètement bilingues puisqu'ils fréquentent une école anglaise . Et maintenant c'est Julie qui me corrige lorsque je fais des mistakes . Bisous .
Dear Sonia and Alexandre, I have been so touched and amazed by your journey and what you have shared with us about Africa and its wonderful people. I found your program by accident, and now I watch it every week. I watch it on PBS in Philadelphia. I have learned so much and have been inspired by your courage and fortitude. I am looking forward to reading your book. May God bless you as you continue your work. Your friend in America, Patty
Hi Patty, thank you so much, i didn't know it was being replayed in Philadelphia were it first started in the US last september. I'm glad. And thank you for your appreciation. I love the word fortitude ! African people don't lack of it !
yours africally.
