Welcome to younghollywood. com. I am here with Isaiah Washington. Hello young Hollywood. How are you? What inspired you to get involved? I said no initially because I was ignorant like most people about the negative connotations of DNA. I didn't know whether my DNA would be used for something. I realized that, no, I can't be cloned. And then they told me, they said why would someone want to clone you anyway because you won't have any memory. And I said, okay, I'm convinced. Took the test. It's very simple. You take two swabs, swab inside of your cheeks. And you will put them in the sent, send them off. Put them in an envelope and send them off.

They came back that I share ancestry with the Mende Timini people of Sierra Leone. Wow. It's gonna spawn a very positive thing by leading by example by saying that we all should go home to our independent villages and do something. I spent quite a bit of time and effort and seven figures of my own resources. So I do not have any regrets. The school is built, the children are looking happy in their new school, 150 of them, where they had nothing before I got there. Once you succeed, particularly when everyone was telling me, I was not going to succeed and all the myriad amount of obstacles that we all know about that I went through just last year in order to get this school completed.

It just feels great. Blessings in the new year 2008.
