Speaker 2 (00:36):
Welcome glorious people to organic healthy lifestyle and I'm Nancy Addison,
your host, and if you will please join me in
a prayer, I'll just kind of bless our show. Divine,
Almighty Creator, we are here humbly in your presence and
(00:59):
pray for this of our nation and our world, that
you may break into our lives and heal the divisions
that keep us from realizing the fullness of your grace.
By the power of your Holy Spirit, open our hearts
to fully experience the love, joy, and peace that you
(01:19):
have given us through Christ Joshua Immanuel, so that we
may once again see a future that is shaped in
your love and grace. Grant us the patience to act
with kindness to our neighbors, and give us hearts filled
with generosity and faithfulness to seek your truth as we
(01:40):
strive for justice and righteousness, so that our lands might
be filled once again with your glory. Grant all the elected,
appointed and self appointed leaders of our country and our
entire world the assurance of your abiding presence and guidance.
(02:04):
Give them the courage to lead not by fear, but
with gentleness and love for those that they are called
to help, so that all the people on the earth
will have abundant life. Grant each of us the eagerness
to do justice and the strength to maintain self control, though,
(02:26):
so that we may use our liberty in accordance with
your gracious will. And I asked this in the highest
good of all concerned, for everyone listening now and for
everyone listening in the future. And so it is. Today's
a very special day. We have a friend of mine
(02:50):
on the show. He's quite a unique person. He was
born in Haiti, but he's a Texan and I met
him in Dallas. He's a software engineer and author World
Trade Center nine to eleven survivor, and he has now
turned his energies into becoming an independent organic farming, an entrepreneur,
(03:17):
restauranter and a missionary in Uganda, Africa. He's going to
join us and expand on what his journey has been
like to create this mission that he just has in
his heart and he's joining us today all the way
from Uganda. Welcome to the show, Vladimir Joseph.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Wow, thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It was so wonderful to meet you back when last
year and now lessen a year, maybe a year ago
or less than that.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Now we're on your radio show.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
So wonderful.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh, it's my pleasure. You are one of the most
unique people I've met in my life and very inspirational.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I remember when I met you, you had on this
T shirt that you had created yourself, and that the
most amazing things on the front and the back.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It was like a whole story, and we were all
having lunch together and sharing ideas on creating world peace
and sovereignty for all people. And anyway, you I didn't
(04:40):
know at the time that you had been a nine
to eleven survivor. In a note that you have quite
an amazing story. But we only have a certain amount
of time today, so I would love for you to
share with our listeners just a little bit about how
you came from Haiti to the United States. And we're
(05:03):
working in the first tower that got hit on nine
to eleven in the Twin Towers and how you avoided
that situation.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yes, thank you so much again for having me, and
Nancy is very very very kind of you. Wonderful to
be here with the listeners as well. So the story
is a very interesting story. I had been working at
the World Trade Center as a software analyst at that time,
(05:37):
two and a half years after college, and I had
been been on the eighteenth floor at a company that
since Ben has been brought by Thompson Rocket Thompson Financial
and this company or international company. I was part of
the crew that was physically connected to the computers, either
(06:01):
in a physical proximity or constantly monitoring them remotely within
the same building of the computer.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
So I was on the.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Eighteenth floor, and all the people of that company had moved,
the majority of them, like ninety eight percent had moved
across around the corner on Broadway a month prior.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
So maybe they knew something.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I don't know if that's and and so myself and
the team that I was part of were still there
in that in that building. So two weeks prior to
ninet eleven, I take a two weeks vacation. One week
first week is too is me volunteering as a youth
counselor for Royal Family Kids Camp, a camp that was
(06:47):
hosting abused children for a week from New York City
or from New York City.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Second week of my vacation, I went to Florida to
visit my aunt.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
And then two days after coming back from my vacation,
on Monday, I am I'm at the World Trade Center,
the forum that's outside, having lunch, and I'm looking at
the buildings. I'm remarking how amazing these structures are. And
I'm reflecting how amazing they are. But compared to the
(07:22):
wind that happens during the wintertime, it's how amazing the winds.
The winds are and God creates a wind. Okay, that's
that for lunch. So less than twenty four hours later,
you know, it's a different story.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Those towers are along there.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
So but that night I had some kind of provocation
from the Lord that said to me, hey, you your
house is a mess. You have to get your life
in order. I had dishes in my sink and I said, yes,
it is a mess. I should wash the dishes to
you know, respond to this prompting. And then I said, well,
I'm tired, though, and I.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Want to go to sleep.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
So I went to ignoring this beginning beginning provacation in
my spirit. So the morning I wake up, immediately when
my eyes open, and immediately I hear, you are going
to go do laundry this morning.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Is a message that I heard and I saw.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I said, this is this is, this is kind of
like from God. But this can't be from God because
my pattern for the last few years had been to
have spiritual quiet time, have devotional time of reading the Bible, meditating,
braying before I go. And I had a thirty minute
go to door commute from my place in Brooklyn to
(08:38):
my desk in the World Trade Center. So I said, no,
I can't really do this, this du laundry, because it
would it would contribute, it would conflict with my time
to do devotion. And then I proceeded to nevertheless give
like give like a nod or sup partial acceptance to
(08:59):
this man, go do your laundry by taking the sheets
off my bed and putting them in my laundry bag,
and then going to do my devotion. I sit, I
get all my things that I use for my devotion.
I get my Bible, my commentary, and a journal. And
then I hear go lunch, and I'm like, nope, I'm
now doing my devotion.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
That that that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I can't do both, okay, But and I'm choosing to
do my devotions. I go to pray, and when I
go to pray, I here again, go do laundry. Your
prayers is not passing the ceiling. Now I knew, oh no,
this is only one person speaking and has been speaking
these last two other times. This is God. This is
(09:42):
only God who's who qualifies the message with this kind
of statement that your prayers is not going past the ceiling.
I said, wow, I'm sorry, you are telling me to
do laundry this money, So okay, I stop my devotion.
I get my clothes, the remaining of my clothes. I
pack them up and take them to the launchry man
around in the corner.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And I'm like, I'm making in a big deal.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Of turmoil this morning, that morning because I am not
having my normal time of reading my Bible and doing meditation, prayer,
and said, I'm doing this thing that is removing that
that that possibility. So nevertheless, I take the clothes, I
make another trip back to the laundromat to remove the
clothes from the washer to the to the dryer, and
(10:25):
I make it, and then I make another trip to
move to the close from the dryer to the to home.
And as I'm removing the clothes out of the dryer machines,
I see on the news Building one has been hit
in the World Trade cit And I look and I say, well,
I work there. What does that mean? Does that mean
I have to work over time today? Does does that
mean I don't have to work today? What does that mean?
(10:48):
So nevertheless, I get my clothes packed. I walk home puzzled.
I open get home, I opened turn the news, and
I'm seeing the talk. Hey, it looks like there's a
small plane possibly assessed assessing that went into the building.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Looked that old, you know. And then and then.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I hurry up, try to and then building too gets
hit and then or whatever building to explose, there's explosion
of building too. And then and then I immediately try
to uh call the person that I previously called that
that morning to warn them, Hey, something is a problem.
Because I had called the person uh previously during my
(11:26):
one of my trips to the laundrom had to tell
them I'm going to run late this morning.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I'm not going to get to work at my normal time.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
So so I try to reach that person, and I'm
not able to reach that person. And then I I
try to reach certain computers that I'm physically in proximity
to my seat in the office, and I'm not able
to reach certain computers.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I'm able to reach other computers.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
So I basically, you know, you go back to watching
the news and I see both buildings, uh incinerate, and
then I am so cheaping. I go to my prayer
uh cause it or my prayer space in my bedroom,
and I pray, I'm sorry, Lord, I'm so sorry. I'm
so sorry, this is what you're doing today. And I was,
(12:10):
I was fighting you.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I'm so sorry. Thank you think you think you think you?
Thank you, thank you for saving my life.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
And then throughout the day people called, many people called,
where are you?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
What happened to you?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Are you safe?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And I said, the Lord was doing something different with
me today. He had me go do laundry.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And that's how I avoided everything, survived it that way.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Vladimir, I think that is just so powerful and what
a great message. And you, you know, listen to your
inner voice, which I believe is God. I mean, I
really do believe that we have God is part of
us and our hearts, and that you know, we let
we let all of this, you know, kind of rack
(12:54):
it from cell phones and computers and emails and TV
and you know, all this, you know, outside interference kind
of interfere with our ability to get quiet and listen
to that voice.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But what I think is so powerful is that you
allow that time in the mornings and in your life
to get that quiet mind, get that quietness in your
inner being so that you can hear the messages that
the divine is bringing you. And I just think, you know,
(13:38):
what a great message to share with people that. And
it's like, it's like this book I read once by
Malcolm Gladwell called Blink, where your inner voice, your inner
gut knowing is always right. But yet in our in
(14:00):
our lives, with all this crazy you know, conditioning by
schools and different things teaching us to not listen to that.
You know, they say, oh no, you know that you
can't do that. You need to analyze it, you need
to you know, listen to the experts or whatever it
(14:20):
is they're telling you but Malcolm Gladwell, in this book,
it's all scientifically based. But you know, people know immediately,
you know, if you know, let's just say you're playing
cards with someone in there cheating on you, they know
immediately cheat it on. But then they don't want to
(14:41):
trust that idea. And it's kind of like, you know,
you're supposed to go into work, you've been out for
two weeks. This voice is telling you to go do
your laundry, and you're just like, well, you know, that
kind of goes against my schedule. So you know, some
people would just ignored that message from the divine and
(15:04):
you know, gone on to work out of just responsibility.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
But after all that happened, you moved to Texas where
I met you and started learning about the corruption in
our government and in the world and on all of
these different levels. And you know, with the UN having
their secret meetings and trying to actually overrule any government,
(15:35):
constitution or people's sovereignty with their new program, where you know,
looking at this kind of corporation takeover attempt by these globalists,
you know, I can only call them psychopathic, you know,
mafia bankers. But I love the fact that you trusted
(16:01):
your inner voice and thought, I need to go do
something else with my life than what I'm doing now,
and it has. It has taken you to Uganda and
you're on a new mission which I think is just
quite remarkable, where you've connected with the local people and
(16:24):
you've already started helping out at different cafes and helping
people to eat more nourishing food. And now you're looking
at buying some land, starting an organic farm and teaching
people how to grow their own organic food and then
also start a cafe where they can you can serve
(16:48):
this nourishing food. And I just I think it's so
admirable and wonderful. And you know, yesterday I sent you
an email connecting you with the Soil of Life lady
Pat Featherstone in South Africa, and I'm hoping she'll be
able to get you some organic seeds and things, because
(17:10):
I think that's the key. But I'd love for you
to share some of your story with you know, how
how did you get to where you are and have
the really the inner strength to trust that to literally
move to another part of the world you'd never been before.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Right, Yes, yes, I I I would say I'm still
on my journey to grow closer to the Lord and
have the voice he speaks within our hearts in his
Holy spirit to be you know, more pronounced, because there's
so much much more, great great things he had the
(17:53):
Lord has for us, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Like the mafia bankers. We're supposed to be.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
The actual the lia to them, like we're supposed to
be bigger, badder than them, because they're tapping into dark
spirits and dark powers, which is always.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Smaller than the all limited God power.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
So which is a different subject we didn't prepare for.
But to just put a little comment in that samement
I just made. Now, what I will say is the
best way that I'm practicing to grow my sensitivity to
the voice of God speaking in me is to have
(18:40):
plenty forgiveness of myself, plenty forgiveness of others, whatever they
have done or what they do, you know, day by day,
a moment by moment, to keep myself practicing the Lord's prayer.
Forgive them as we forgive those who sin against us.
That's the Lord's prayer. Our Father are in heaven, how
(19:02):
your name, your kingdom come. You will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this the
ideaally bred forgive us our sins as we forgive those
who sin against us. So that little little clause in
this the Lord's prayer modeled prayer is not like poetic
it's it's legitimately how we and how I'm learning and
how I'm getting more more sensitivity to be able to
(19:26):
hear God, because God speaks all the time. But what
you mentioned is the many distractions, the phones, the messaging,
the many psychological operation that is going on by the mafia,
psychopath evil infested individuals will create a confusion funnel for us.
(19:51):
And the way we pass through get avoid that that
confusion funnel is to have anything that is dark be
disconnected from us. Any hate, any any any.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Hurt from the past.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
We have to let let them go so that we
have the love of God having unlimited room and access
to it.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
So that's that's how I will, you know, answer this this.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Question you asked of me today and you asked me
before we met for this meeting.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Well, thank you for that, and yes, that's all just beautiful.
And I love the fact that you well, when you
first landed in Kenya and somehow you made your way
to you Ganda because it's been. It's one of those
(20:46):
unique countries that has basically kept out the globalist corporations
and therefore pretty still pretty pristine as far as not
having emos and tons of you know, life to sate
herbicide dumped everywhere, and so it's kind of a unique
(21:09):
space where they've basically protected themselves from some of this
craziness that these corporations are imposing on or trying to
impose on the rest of the world. And and yet
you have connected with the local people. You've you've actually
(21:32):
been using the money right out of your pocket to help,
you know, like pay for mattresses for people sleeping on
the floor, and helping a little cafe serve more healthy
food that is more nutritious. And and I'm going to
help you with you know, guiding you in some of
(21:52):
these these ways. And I'm very really blessed to know
you and be able to connect with you this way.
My daughter, having lived in Molly, Africa for two years
in the in the Peace Corps, I understand a lot
about some of like local village life in different parts
of Africa. And I've been to Cape Town where I
(22:14):
met Pat Featherstone and went to her Soil of Life
Farm where she's been teaching local people in South Africa
how to grow your own nutritious organic food and and
it's just, I mean, it's such a beautiful connection. And
I'm really hopeful that she'll be able to get you
the resources you need for learning what you need to
(22:39):
learn because you've never been a farmer before. Have you
done right right right or cafe.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Right right right?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah, the whole new territory of your life.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Yes, yes, yeah, and you are very the small conversation
we had about the ways to improve UH nutrition, which
I found is an issue here in Uganda. Backing up,
I picked up picked Uganda because Ugana was a place
(23:15):
that I learned from while in the US they were
being ostracized by the West or the the elite mafia,
evil psychopath UH infested people who I hope, you know,
we pent eventually so they avoid, you know, greater problems.
(23:37):
They have ostracized Uganda, and even recently US have said
though Africa has a has a trade agreement and in
many countries in Africa is in a particular trade agreement,
including Uganda, they said, well, we're going to not accept
(23:57):
Uganda's Uganda's role or or or or membership in that
trade agreement, so you don't get to to get the
benefit of being part of that agreement. That's how explicit, uh,
the other countries are in punishing you Ganda. So I
noticed this, and I said, you know, I want to
some for me to uh, you know, help help help
(24:22):
help myself for the future by by getting a place
that's more stable from evil you are doing. But this
particular place of Uganda seem to be suffering more from
the from from bigger countries.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Like just real quick, could I just intercept just for
just a moment. First, I think we should avoid calling
them elite because they are really scum of the earth.
So let's call it. Let's call them globalists. And then
(25:01):
in the second place, you have to respect a country
like Uganda for not allowing their corporate takeover of their country.
And with so many, so many of the leaders that
stood up against the COVID scam. You know, we're actually murdered,
(25:23):
like the president of Tanzania and step so people are
brave heroes. And you have to really respect a country
like Uganda for for doing this. And so it's really
awesome that you are there as a part of that situation.
(25:44):
But yet, you know, I do see how you know,
having limited trade and things like that could isolate them,
which I think is their goal. You know, they try
to wannah you because you're not you know, and you're
not letting them take advantage of you and destroy so
so anyway, I think it's just really incredible how you
(26:05):
moved there without knowing anybody, and you have connective local
people and have a home there. Now you're I'm not
sure exactly, but you're looking at, you know, the situation
and have started working, you know, with different local communities
(26:27):
and really kind of helping to educate them on some
better ways to get better nutrition for a reasonable price.
And I think this is so commendable and fantastic and
I really am looking forward to helping you in whichever
way I can. And for our listeners out there, you know,
(26:52):
stay tuned because we are going to keep you updated
on how Vladimir is doing on his journey to bring
nutritious farming and food to these people, and so share
share some stories with us about what it's like there
and some of some of your little situations that you've encountered.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Yeah, yeah, thank you so much again for bringing making
highlighting the strength in Uganda to do what they did
that is really commendable, really really really commendable. So one
of the things as I as I was was in
Uganda about ten years ten months ago, now I noticed,
(27:41):
I knew I was gonna have to learn learn the
problems other problems while I was there. So I had
a lot of conversations when I'm going one place or
another and what I learned firsthand my neighbor when I
was living in Compila. Now I'm in the northern part
of Uganda, in the Guru area, which known for farming.
(28:03):
The whole country is amenable to farming, but the north
is even more prime for farming. One neighbor college educated,
maybe he's twenty six, twenty eight years old, or yeah
maybe around that age, works a full time job. But
(28:23):
I can see enough bones on his face to be
concerned for him for his lack of calorie or food
and take. So I have a friendship with him, and
then eventually I get to have that conversation say, you know, well,
I noticed, first.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Of all, it's not just him, but there are others.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I won't say.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
I won't say is I would say, maybe.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
It's forty sixty forty percent like that in the area
that I was at in the central Compala.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
True of you got some compile area forty sixty percent.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
People have this kind of of visible non nourishment some signs.
So I approached him, I said, you know, eventually your
body weight seems to be not matching something that is
(29:26):
you know, healthy, because because because if we go to
a chart, which I looked online for a chart of
weight compared to height, I showed him, perther weight compared
to height.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Ratio, look at your weight.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
I bought a scale, I brought a bought a scale
at home, and then had him come home, coming to
my place and then waves himself and then I said, yeah,
per your weight in this scale and compared to the
weight of what what the metrics of healthy body weight?
He says, you're way under and therefore it's not good.
(30:04):
So obviously, brus he brings the point of he makes
about five hundred thousand you got and chilling a month, which.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Is about.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Three hundred and seventy five dollars or something a month,
three hundred and seventy five dollars a month, and then
he says half of that is go to taxes, So
he's left for two hundred and fifty every month to
manage his his rental.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
And you know food, so so yeah, he doesn't have
money to so just keep up on his basic nutrition.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Okay, so no big deal.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
So what I do is I buy extra food and
I have him come over in the evening, no matter
what what else he ate during the day. He accepted
my invitation to come and eat his extra meal that night,
and then I sent him home with food for breakfast.
(31:00):
So then the restaurant that happened to be right next
door to what are saying happened.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I happened to create a relationship with.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
That owner and then I he was similar in a
similar situation restaurant owner chef in that restaurant as well.
He too has bones structures that is not naturally or
properly there in his face. Yet again, and I try
(31:31):
to understand, what's the math, Well, the businesses is so
shraped that he really, you know, he knows if he
eats a meal at the business, at the restaurant, and
he knows it's cutting at his non existent profit. You know,
is that financially difficult throughout the whole country, And so
(31:52):
him too, I have this scale. So interestingly, both of
them were friends, so it was easy for both of
them to go through the routine. When it got to
my place, they weighed themselves, they marked their weight on
the board, and then we tracked their weight improvement while
they ate, you know, and so forth. It was it
wasn't It wasn't something I forced upon them. I think
(32:13):
at some certain conversation brought brought an understanding to them
that hey, I'm not judging you. I am loving you,
caring for you at the at the you know, holistic level.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
So for that restaurant owner, I got.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Acquainted with his majority of his operation. When I went
to the back office or the kitchen area, I noticed
it wasn't sanitary. So I bought things to organize the
back pitching so that they can have more sanitary, you know,
prepared food. And then I purchased equipment to be able
(32:51):
to create more food. I purchased a toaster, I purchased
blunder to make smoothies, a fresh you know juice or
fresh fresh food, yeah, fresh fruit juices, and and and
I added bread and different things in their menu so
that people going there can have more calorie that are nutritious,
and I didn't. I do believe in nutrition food, so
(33:13):
I didn't just go for, hey, hey, let me just
have you increase your your menu with.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
All all unnatural, unhealthy things. So no, I wasn't supporting that.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
In fact, I encourage him, Hey, get rid of all
those sodas because I told him, you know, because he
was a professor of Christ of Christ. I told him, look,
as a as a restaurant owner, what you provide if
they are hurting people.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
You're going to have a spiritual liability to you. Okay,
I told him.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
And from that message, you got the message that hey,
he should make sure his food is has integrity to
the people that he that that are coming there. So
small things like that. Now the next restaurant that that
is not too far from where I live, yet again
having conversation, natural conversation, and I find out this this
(34:01):
owner is struggling financially to pay electric bills.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
So I took care of a backdoory electric bill.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
And then and then, uh, and then when I was
fighting while I'm there, one day I find out the
hired hand that that this owner has she had she
had along with the owner.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
They're all sleeping on a you know, on the floor
in the in their in their you know room next
door to the restaurant. I'm thinking, you know, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
I can't save everyone. I'm not trying to save everyone,
but anyone who is in my path, I have something
to do with them, like God has me in their
path for a reason. So I'm not gonna like, uh like,
you know, act like I didn't see them sleeping on
the floor, and and while I had the means to
(34:54):
help them, so I bought them two bunk beds so
that all the four people that the owner one and
then the three workers can can sleep on an uncomfortable bed.
And a few days later I brought comforters because since
it gets cold and they said they were cold in
the night, so.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
That they would be warm.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
So small things like that are what I had envisioned,
you know, to leave from America to come to Uganda.
I knew I couldn't turn the economy around. But every
way that I can add income to the UH, add
money to the to their to their economy, it's going
(35:34):
to help someone. But anyone as well that is struggling
suffering in certain ways that I can help.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Then I would help.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
And then you know, when I moved to Vladimir, I was,
I was so impressed with your humble attitude to what
you're doing. I was, I was just I mean, it
just made my heart just feel so that you were
doing you were touching these lives with such generosity of love.
(36:08):
I mean, I mean, it's just really amazing. I know
we've had some conversations about calories not being really what
you want. It's the nutrition and the health and a
note you're focusing on that, and I just think, you know,
you buying the plastic bind so they had something to
store their food in instead of just paper boxes that
(36:30):
mice and different types of firmin could get into, and
to provide ways for them to make more nutritious food with,
like the blender so they could do smoothies and healthier
things for people to drink or and jest as compared
to the sodas. I mean, this is gigantic, and this
(36:50):
is really, I believe, the way that missionary or the
way we should all live our lives everywhere around the
world in all and I think most people you know
aspire to this in actuality, but may not be aware
that they can do this, Remeybror. When we took our
(37:11):
family with us, took we took our children around the
world and we went to India, and we went to Nepal,
and we went to Borneo in different places. And when
we got to India, I remember our car that we
were in was surrounded by children that were, you know,
begging and hungry, and it was it was very, very
(37:33):
hard on our hearts. And my children were about nine
and ten years old at the time, and I remember
looking at them and I said, you know, y'all, we
could stay home and not come here. We could you know,
not see this and not be part of it. There's
no way we can give all of these people enough
(37:54):
money and enough food. And if we did that, we
would get moved and it would be, you know, a
really tough situation for all of us. And we don't
want to put y'all in danger, or us in danger,
or these children in danger. And I said, you know,
we can come here and we can meet people, and
we can spend the money that we can't afford to
(38:15):
spend here, and we can share our information and we
can share our journey and information with our people back home.
But if we started, you know, just trying to give
out money willy nilly to just whoever you know, piled
around the car. We don't know what's going to happen
(38:35):
to them, and you know, is somebody going to rob them?
And so you know, I explained it to the children,
is we come here, we see the place, we share
what we can as we're able, but we you know,
you can't necessarily just start throwing out money to people.
(38:55):
And I think the way you've approached this in Uganda
by supporting like the cafe owner who's going to really
affect whole neighborhoods, right and a whole lot of people,
and them being a restaurant chef or owner, they're going
to have influence over what those people are ingesting and
(39:21):
you know the conversation even or you know the setting
and you making that cafe, and both of those cafes
actually more healthy, more joyful, I mean not sleeping on
the floor anymore freezing, I mean having a bed to
sleep in. They are really experiencing the divine love that
(39:44):
you have brought there. And I think that is such
a glorious gift that you have brought. And Vladimir, I
know you don't have a website yet. But if anybody
wants to contribute thinking to Vladimir Vladimir, how can they
get in touch with you if they want to, you know,
(40:08):
maybe help you out in any way, or just get
in contact with you to have you on their show,
or or you know, whatever it may be, send you
organic seeds or but you know, it's it's wild. But
our time is almost that we have. Your story has
(40:30):
been so heartwarming and beautiful, but we only have about
maybe six minutes left, and so I'd love for you
to share kind of your contact information with folks and
anything else you might want to share, and then we'll
have to wrap up our show. But I'm going to
(40:51):
have you back on and we're going to keep people
updated on your progress.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Sure, thank you so much again.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Yeah, yeah, uh, I'm going to be about the love
of God.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Here you nailed it.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
It is the love of God that I stressed him.
God loves you. I love you through God's love and
and and you they owe me nothing, You owe me nothing,
you know.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
No profit and so forth. Do I want to share
nothing with them? With them?
Speaker 4 (41:17):
So yes, my contact is my first name in my
last name at hotmail dot com to spell that which
is W. It's like Vladimir putt In, but Vladimir spelled
with a W and set up with the V W
L A D I M I R. And then Joseph
(41:39):
as in the father of Jesus Joseph j O S
E P H or Stepfather of Jesus at hotmail dot com. Now,
I am a software engineer. I'm in the process of
doing many things to try to get myself.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
More available online.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
But but for the time being, I only have my
email as a way to get get a hold of
me via communication. Fortunately, that same email happens to be
connected to my Zell account. So ze E sorry z
E l L. For the US audience, many people are
(42:18):
familiar or many people may be familiar with.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Sending money through Zel.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
So if you were wanting immediately send some money towards
my work in Uganda, that same email as well can
can be a way for you to send money through
your bank, your your Zell account which is often connected
to a bank account. So so that's one way to
(42:44):
both contact me physically or to send some donation as well.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
So, Vladimir, one of the things that you're going to
do is you're going to buy some land. This is
your your what you're looking for right now, and you're
going to start farming, doing organic farming, and I'm hoping
that the soil of life is going to be able
to connect you with the place or seeds that you
(43:15):
can use. And then you're going to work with local
people and help to teach them. Right now, you're keeping
chickens in your house because they were getting stolen outside
and so you know, all these chickens in your house
in glued to your rooster, and you know, that's a
(43:36):
whole another funny story that we talked about yesterday, and
I wish we had more time, but if you can
just close with a parting thought and maybe a little
update on your chickens in your house, it's hilarious. But
the chicken egg, you know I discussed is a wonderful
whole food for people that's really good protein and a
(44:00):
raw egg from a healthy chicken that's not fed GMO
corn and feed. It's actually, like doctor Stephanie Sennef of
MIT says, is like a whole vitamin pill. So you know,
you have like two minutes that you can here a
little bit before we have to close the show.
Speaker 4 (44:21):
Sure, So with the with the chickens, I yes, have
had two hens sold, and then now I'm a parate
to eleven chickens in the house, eight of them with
baby once and I'm trying to get them to be
hospitable to each other, which is the complicated process.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
But what I've learned is or what I'm hoping for,
is to model.
Speaker 4 (44:48):
Hospitable chickens that are hospitable to each other, can can
perhaps permit more chickens to be around each other, So
now we could have more eggs created right for people
who are housing chickens. So that's kind of the thing
that I am discovering, and I'm pursuing them to pursuing learning.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
Out or you know, make them work together.
Speaker 4 (45:10):
And the place that I'm saying it's a rental that is,
you know a little bit over zero point sixty seven acres,
and I'm modeling different farming techniques.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
So that I eventually have people come over. So I
think the party thought.
Speaker 4 (45:26):
Is if you yourself want to help, come go over
wherever you want and talk and learn the people, and
then deal with every issue or one in shide of
time that comes comes across your path.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
I think you will be blessed by that by God
for doing that.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
Yeah, that so beautiful and really yeah, for everyone out
there listening, you can do this in your neighborhood, you
can do this in your own area, you can do
it in your communities. And I do think putting that positive,
loving energy out that's what comes back to you and
(46:10):
you attract that. And bless your heart, Vladimir.
Speaker 5 (46:16):
I'm so grateful to have met you years ago and
to know you and to be a part of your
little you're exciting journey here. And I know that our
listeners are most lightly sending you lots of love as well,
(46:38):
so you know, just you you're our example of inspiration
of following what is in your heart with divine guidance.
And thank you and honored to have you on this
show today.
Speaker 3 (46:53):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (46:54):
Nay, I'm very honored to be on your show and
receive already the advice you've given me. I've already and
having raw eggs last spoke, So thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Oh, it's my pleasure. And for everyone out there listening,
Vladimir and I send you great love. We wish you peace,
and we wish you great health and as you go
through your life, and you connect with those around you.
Just remember to add that main ingredient, and that main
(47:26):
ingredient is always love.

Welcome glorious people to organic healthy lifestyle and I'm Nancy Addison,

a prayer, I'll just kind of bless our show. Divine,
Almighty Creator, we are here humbly in your presence and
(00:59):
pray for this of our nation and our world, that
you may break into our lives and heal the divisions
that keep us from realizing the fullness of your grace.
By the power of your Holy Spirit, open our hearts
to fully experience the love, joy, and peace that you
(01:19):
have given us through Christ Joshua Immanuel, so that we
may once again see a future that is shaped in
your love and grace. Grant us the patience to act
with kindness to our neighbors, and give us hearts filled

Give them the courage to lead not by fear, but
with gentleness and love for those that they are called
to help, so that all the people on the earth
will have abundant life. Grant each of us the eagerness
to do justice and the strength to maintain self control, though,
(02:26):
so that we may use our liberty in accordance with
your gracious will. And I asked this in the highest
good of all concerned, for everyone listening now and for
everyone listening in the future. And so it is. Today's
a very special day. We have a friend of mine
(02:50):
on the show. He's quite a unique person. He was
born in Haiti, but he's a Texan and I met
him in Dallas. He's a software engineer and author World
Trade Center nine to eleven survivor, and he has now
turned his energies into becoming an independent organic farming, an entrepreneur,
(03:17):
restauranter and a missionary in Uganda, Africa. He's going to
join us and expand on what his journey has been
like to create this mission that he just has in
his heart and he's joining us today all the way
from Uganda. Welcome to the show, Vladimir Joseph.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Wow, thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It was so wonderful to meet you back when last
year and now lessen a year, maybe a year ago
or less than that.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Now we're on your radio show.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
So wonderful.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh, it's my pleasure. You are one of the most
unique people I've met in my life and very inspirational.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I remember when I met you, you had on this
T shirt that you had created yourself, and that the
most amazing things on the front and the back.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It was like a whole story, and we were all
having lunch together and sharing ideas on creating world peace
and sovereignty for all people. And anyway, you I didn't
(04:40):
know at the time that you had been a nine
to eleven survivor. In a note that you have quite
an amazing story. But we only have a certain amount
of time today, so I would love for you to
share with our listeners just a little bit about how
you came from Haiti to the United States. And we're
(05:03):
working in the first tower that got hit on nine
to eleven in the Twin Towers and how you avoided
that situation.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yes, thank you so much again for having me, and
Nancy is very very very kind of you. Wonderful to
be here with the listeners as well. So the story
is a very interesting story. I had been working at
the World Trade Center as a software analyst at that time,
(05:37):
two and a half years after college, and I had
been been on the eighteenth floor at a company that
since Ben has been brought by Thompson Rocket Thompson Financial
and this company or international company. I was part of
the crew that was physically connected to the computers, either
(06:01):
in a physical proximity or constantly monitoring them remotely within
the same building of the computer.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
So I was on the.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Eighteenth floor, and all the people of that company had moved,
the majority of them, like ninety eight percent had moved
across around the corner on Broadway a month prior.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
So maybe they knew something.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I don't know if that's and and so myself and
the team that I was part of were still there
in that in that building. So two weeks prior to
ninet eleven, I take a two weeks vacation. One week
first week is too is me volunteering as a youth
counselor for Royal Family Kids Camp, a camp that was
(06:47):
hosting abused children for a week from New York City
or from New York City.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Second week of my vacation, I went to Florida to
visit my aunt.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
And then two days after coming back from my vacation,
on Monday, I am I'm at the World Trade Center,
the forum that's outside, having lunch, and I'm looking at
the buildings. I'm remarking how amazing these structures are. And
I'm reflecting how amazing they are. But compared to the
(07:22):
wind that happens during the wintertime, it's how amazing the winds.
The winds are and God creates a wind. Okay, that's
that for lunch. So less than twenty four hours later,
you know, it's a different story.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Those towers are along there.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
So but that night I had some kind of provocation
from the Lord that said to me, hey, you your
house is a mess. You have to get your life
in order. I had dishes in my sink and I said, yes,
it is a mess. I should wash the dishes to
you know, respond to this prompting. And then I said, well,
I'm tired, though, and I.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Want to go to sleep.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
So I went to ignoring this beginning beginning provacation in
my spirit. So the morning I wake up, immediately when
my eyes open, and immediately I hear, you are going
to go do laundry this morning.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Is a message that I heard and I saw.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I said, this is this is, this is kind of
like from God. But this can't be from God because
my pattern for the last few years had been to
have spiritual quiet time, have devotional time of reading the Bible, meditating,
braying before I go. And I had a thirty minute
go to door commute from my place in Brooklyn to
(08:38):
my desk in the World Trade Center. So I said, no,
I can't really do this, this du laundry, because it
would it would contribute, it would conflict with my time
to do devotion. And then I proceeded to nevertheless give
like give like a nod or sup partial acceptance to
(08:59):
this man, go do your laundry by taking the sheets
off my bed and putting them in my laundry bag,
and then going to do my devotion. I sit, I
get all my things that I use for my devotion.
I get my Bible, my commentary, and a journal. And
then I hear go lunch, and I'm like, nope, I'm
now doing my devotion.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
That that that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I can't do both, okay, But and I'm choosing to
do my devotions. I go to pray, and when I
go to pray, I here again, go do laundry. Your
prayers is not passing the ceiling. Now I knew, oh no,
this is only one person speaking and has been speaking
these last two other times. This is God. This is
(09:42):
only God who's who qualifies the message with this kind
of statement that your prayers is not going past the ceiling.
I said, wow, I'm sorry, you are telling me to
do laundry this money, So okay, I stop my devotion.
I get my clothes, the remaining of my clothes. I
pack them up and take them to the launchry man
around in the corner.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And I'm like, I'm making in a big deal.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Of turmoil this morning, that morning because I am not
having my normal time of reading my Bible and doing meditation, prayer,
and said, I'm doing this thing that is removing that
that that possibility. So nevertheless, I take the clothes, I
make another trip back to the laundromat to remove the
clothes from the washer to the to the dryer, and
(10:25):
I make it, and then I make another trip to
move to the close from the dryer to the to home.
And as I'm removing the clothes out of the dryer machines,
I see on the news Building one has been hit
in the World Trade cit And I look and I say, well,
I work there. What does that mean? Does that mean
I have to work over time today? Does does that
mean I don't have to work today? What does that mean?
(10:48):
So nevertheless, I get my clothes packed. I walk home puzzled.
I open get home, I opened turn the news, and
I'm seeing the talk. Hey, it looks like there's a
small plane possibly assessed assessing that went into the building.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Looked that old, you know. And then and then.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I hurry up, try to and then building too gets
hit and then or whatever building to explose, there's explosion
of building too. And then and then I immediately try
to uh call the person that I previously called that
that morning to warn them, Hey, something is a problem.
Because I had called the person uh previously during my
(11:26):
one of my trips to the laundrom had to tell
them I'm going to run late this morning.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I'm not going to get to work at my normal time.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
So so I try to reach that person, and I'm
not able to reach that person. And then I I
try to reach certain computers that I'm physically in proximity
to my seat in the office, and I'm not able
to reach certain computers.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I'm able to reach other computers.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
So I basically, you know, you go back to watching
the news and I see both buildings, uh incinerate, and
then I am so cheaping. I go to my prayer
uh cause it or my prayer space in my bedroom,
and I pray, I'm sorry, Lord, I'm so sorry. I'm
so sorry, this is what you're doing today. And I was,
(12:10):
I was fighting you.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I'm so sorry. Thank you think you think you think you?
Thank you, thank you for saving my life.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
And then throughout the day people called, many people called,
where are you?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
What happened to you?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Are you safe?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And I said, the Lord was doing something different with
me today. He had me go do laundry.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And that's how I avoided everything, survived it that way.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Vladimir, I think that is just so powerful and what
a great message. And you, you know, listen to your
inner voice, which I believe is God. I mean, I
really do believe that we have God is part of
us and our hearts, and that you know, we let
we let all of this, you know, kind of rack
(12:54):
it from cell phones and computers and emails and TV
and you know, all this, you know, outside interference kind
of interfere with our ability to get quiet and listen
to that voice.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But what I think is so powerful is that you
allow that time in the mornings and in your life
to get that quiet mind, get that quietness in your
inner being so that you can hear the messages that
the divine is bringing you. And I just think, you know,
(13:38):
what a great message to share with people that. And
it's like, it's like this book I read once by
Malcolm Gladwell called Blink, where your inner voice, your inner
gut knowing is always right. But yet in our in
(14:00):
our lives, with all this crazy you know, conditioning by
schools and different things teaching us to not listen to that.
You know, they say, oh no, you know that you
can't do that. You need to analyze it, you need
to you know, listen to the experts or whatever it
(14:20):
is they're telling you but Malcolm Gladwell, in this book,
it's all scientifically based. But you know, people know immediately,
you know, if you know, let's just say you're playing
cards with someone in there cheating on you, they know
immediately cheat it on. But then they don't want to
(14:41):
trust that idea. And it's kind of like, you know,
you're supposed to go into work, you've been out for
two weeks. This voice is telling you to go do
your laundry, and you're just like, well, you know, that
kind of goes against my schedule. So you know, some
people would just ignored that message from the divine and
(15:04):
you know, gone on to work out of just responsibility.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
But after all that happened, you moved to Texas where
I met you and started learning about the corruption in
our government and in the world and on all of
these different levels. And you know, with the UN having
their secret meetings and trying to actually overrule any government,
(15:35):
constitution or people's sovereignty with their new program, where you know,
looking at this kind of corporation takeover attempt by these globalists,
you know, I can only call them psychopathic, you know,
mafia bankers. But I love the fact that you trusted
(16:01):
your inner voice and thought, I need to go do
something else with my life than what I'm doing now,
and it has. It has taken you to Uganda and
you're on a new mission which I think is just
quite remarkable, where you've connected with the local people and
(16:24):
you've already started helping out at different cafes and helping
people to eat more nourishing food. And now you're looking
at buying some land, starting an organic farm and teaching
people how to grow their own organic food and then
also start a cafe where they can you can serve
(16:48):
this nourishing food. And I just I think it's so
admirable and wonderful. And you know, yesterday I sent you
an email connecting you with the Soil of Life lady
Pat Featherstone in South Africa, and I'm hoping she'll be
able to get you some organic seeds and things, because
(17:10):
I think that's the key. But I'd love for you
to share some of your story with you know, how
how did you get to where you are and have
the really the inner strength to trust that to literally
move to another part of the world you'd never been before.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Right, Yes, yes, I I I would say I'm still
on my journey to grow closer to the Lord and
have the voice he speaks within our hearts in his
Holy spirit to be you know, more pronounced, because there's
so much much more, great great things he had the
(17:53):
Lord has for us, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Like the mafia bankers. We're supposed to be.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
The actual the lia to them, like we're supposed to
be bigger, badder than them, because they're tapping into dark
spirits and dark powers, which is always.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Smaller than the all limited God power.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
So which is a different subject we didn't prepare for.
But to just put a little comment in that samement
I just made. Now, what I will say is the
best way that I'm practicing to grow my sensitivity to
the voice of God speaking in me is to have
(18:40):
plenty forgiveness of myself, plenty forgiveness of others, whatever they
have done or what they do, you know, day by day,
a moment by moment, to keep myself practicing the Lord's prayer.
Forgive them as we forgive those who sin against us.
That's the Lord's prayer. Our Father are in heaven, how
(19:02):
your name, your kingdom come. You will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this the
ideaally bred forgive us our sins as we forgive those
who sin against us. So that little little clause in
this the Lord's prayer modeled prayer is not like poetic
it's it's legitimately how we and how I'm learning and
how I'm getting more more sensitivity to be able to
(19:26):
hear God, because God speaks all the time. But what
you mentioned is the many distractions, the phones, the messaging,
the many psychological operation that is going on by the mafia,
psychopath evil infested individuals will create a confusion funnel for us.
(19:51):
And the way we pass through get avoid that that
confusion funnel is to have anything that is dark be
disconnected from us. Any hate, any any any.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Hurt from the past.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
We have to let let them go so that we
have the love of God having unlimited room and access
to it.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
So that's that's how I will, you know, answer this this.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Question you asked of me today and you asked me
before we met for this meeting.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Well, thank you for that, and yes, that's all just beautiful.
And I love the fact that you well, when you
first landed in Kenya and somehow you made your way
to you Ganda because it's been. It's one of those
(20:46):
unique countries that has basically kept out the globalist corporations
and therefore pretty still pretty pristine as far as not
having emos and tons of you know, life to sate
herbicide dumped everywhere, and so it's kind of a unique
(21:09):
space where they've basically protected themselves from some of this
craziness that these corporations are imposing on or trying to
impose on the rest of the world. And and yet
you have connected with the local people. You've you've actually
(21:32):
been using the money right out of your pocket to help,
you know, like pay for mattresses for people sleeping on
the floor, and helping a little cafe serve more healthy
food that is more nutritious. And and I'm going to
help you with you know, guiding you in some of
(21:52):
these these ways. And I'm very really blessed to know
you and be able to connect with you this way.
My daughter, having lived in Molly, Africa for two years
in the in the Peace Corps, I understand a lot
about some of like local village life in different parts
of Africa. And I've been to Cape Town where I
(22:14):
met Pat Featherstone and went to her Soil of Life
Farm where she's been teaching local people in South Africa
how to grow your own nutritious organic food and and
it's just, I mean, it's such a beautiful connection. And
I'm really hopeful that she'll be able to get you
the resources you need for learning what you need to
(22:39):
learn because you've never been a farmer before. Have you
done right right right or cafe.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Right right right?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah, the whole new territory of your life.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Yes, yes, yeah, and you are very the small conversation
we had about the ways to improve UH nutrition, which
I found is an issue here in Uganda. Backing up,
I picked up picked Uganda because Ugana was a place
(23:15):
that I learned from while in the US they were
being ostracized by the West or the the elite mafia,
evil psychopath UH infested people who I hope, you know,
we pent eventually so they avoid, you know, greater problems.
(23:37):
They have ostracized Uganda, and even recently US have said
though Africa has a has a trade agreement and in
many countries in Africa is in a particular trade agreement,
including Uganda, they said, well, we're going to not accept
(23:57):
Uganda's Uganda's role or or or or membership in that
trade agreement, so you don't get to to get the
benefit of being part of that agreement. That's how explicit, uh,
the other countries are in punishing you Ganda. So I
noticed this, and I said, you know, I want to
some for me to uh, you know, help help help
(24:22):
help myself for the future by by getting a place
that's more stable from evil you are doing. But this
particular place of Uganda seem to be suffering more from
the from from bigger countries.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Like just real quick, could I just intercept just for
just a moment. First, I think we should avoid calling
them elite because they are really scum of the earth.
So let's call it. Let's call them globalists. And then
(25:01):
in the second place, you have to respect a country
like Uganda for not allowing their corporate takeover of their country.
And with so many, so many of the leaders that
stood up against the COVID scam. You know, we're actually murdered,
(25:23):
like the president of Tanzania and step so people are
brave heroes. And you have to really respect a country
like Uganda for for doing this. And so it's really
awesome that you are there as a part of that situation.
(25:44):
But yet, you know, I do see how you know,
having limited trade and things like that could isolate them,
which I think is their goal. You know, they try
to wannah you because you're not you know, and you're
not letting them take advantage of you and destroy so
so anyway, I think it's just really incredible how you
(26:05):
moved there without knowing anybody, and you have connective local
people and have a home there. Now you're I'm not
sure exactly, but you're looking at, you know, the situation
and have started working, you know, with different local communities
(26:27):
and really kind of helping to educate them on some
better ways to get better nutrition for a reasonable price.
And I think this is so commendable and fantastic and
I really am looking forward to helping you in whichever
way I can. And for our listeners out there, you know,
(26:52):
stay tuned because we are going to keep you updated
on how Vladimir is doing on his journey to bring
nutritious farming and food to these people, and so share
share some stories with us about what it's like there
and some of some of your little situations that you've encountered.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Yeah, yeah, thank you so much again for bringing making
highlighting the strength in Uganda to do what they did
that is really commendable, really really really commendable. So one
of the things as I as I was was in
Uganda about ten years ten months ago, now I noticed,
(27:41):
I knew I was gonna have to learn learn the
problems other problems while I was there. So I had
a lot of conversations when I'm going one place or
another and what I learned firsthand my neighbor when I
was living in Compila. Now I'm in the northern part
of Uganda, in the Guru area, which known for farming.
(28:03):
The whole country is amenable to farming, but the north
is even more prime for farming. One neighbor college educated,
maybe he's twenty six, twenty eight years old, or yeah
maybe around that age, works a full time job. But
(28:23):
I can see enough bones on his face to be
concerned for him for his lack of calorie or food
and take. So I have a friendship with him, and
then eventually I get to have that conversation say, you know, well,
I noticed, first.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Of all, it's not just him, but there are others.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I won't say.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
I won't say is I would say, maybe.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
It's forty sixty forty percent like that in the area
that I was at in the central Compala.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
True of you got some compile area forty sixty percent.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
People have this kind of of visible non nourishment some signs.
So I approached him, I said, you know, eventually your
body weight seems to be not matching something that is
(29:26):
you know, healthy, because because because if we go to
a chart, which I looked online for a chart of
weight compared to height, I showed him, perther weight compared
to height.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Ratio, look at your weight.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
I bought a scale, I brought a bought a scale
at home, and then had him come home, coming to
my place and then waves himself and then I said, yeah,
per your weight in this scale and compared to the
weight of what what the metrics of healthy body weight?
He says, you're way under and therefore it's not good.
(30:04):
So obviously, brus he brings the point of he makes
about five hundred thousand you got and chilling a month, which.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Is about.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Three hundred and seventy five dollars or something a month,
three hundred and seventy five dollars a month, and then
he says half of that is go to taxes, So
he's left for two hundred and fifty every month to
manage his his rental.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
And you know food, so so yeah, he doesn't have
money to so just keep up on his basic nutrition.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Okay, so no big deal.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
So what I do is I buy extra food and
I have him come over in the evening, no matter
what what else he ate during the day. He accepted
my invitation to come and eat his extra meal that night,
and then I sent him home with food for breakfast.
(31:00):
So then the restaurant that happened to be right next
door to what are saying happened.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I happened to create a relationship with.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
That owner and then I he was similar in a
similar situation restaurant owner chef in that restaurant as well.
He too has bones structures that is not naturally or
properly there in his face. Yet again, and I try
(31:31):
to understand, what's the math, Well, the businesses is so
shraped that he really, you know, he knows if he
eats a meal at the business, at the restaurant, and
he knows it's cutting at his non existent profit. You know,
is that financially difficult throughout the whole country, And so
(31:52):
him too, I have this scale. So interestingly, both of
them were friends, so it was easy for both of
them to go through the routine. When it got to
my place, they weighed themselves, they marked their weight on
the board, and then we tracked their weight improvement while
they ate, you know, and so forth. It was it
wasn't It wasn't something I forced upon them. I think
(32:13):
at some certain conversation brought brought an understanding to them
that hey, I'm not judging you. I am loving you,
caring for you at the at the you know, holistic level.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
So for that restaurant owner, I got.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Acquainted with his majority of his operation. When I went
to the back office or the kitchen area, I noticed
it wasn't sanitary. So I bought things to organize the
back pitching so that they can have more sanitary, you know,
prepared food. And then I purchased equipment to be able
(32:51):
to create more food. I purchased a toaster, I purchased
blunder to make smoothies, a fresh you know juice or
fresh fresh food, yeah, fresh fruit juices, and and and
I added bread and different things in their menu so
that people going there can have more calorie that are nutritious,
and I didn't. I do believe in nutrition food, so
(33:13):
I didn't just go for, hey, hey, let me just
have you increase your your menu with.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
All all unnatural, unhealthy things. So no, I wasn't supporting that.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
In fact, I encourage him, Hey, get rid of all
those sodas because I told him, you know, because he
was a professor of Christ of Christ. I told him, look,
as a as a restaurant owner, what you provide if
they are hurting people.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
You're going to have a spiritual liability to you. Okay,
I told him.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
And from that message, you got the message that hey,
he should make sure his food is has integrity to
the people that he that that are coming there. So
small things like that. Now the next restaurant that that
is not too far from where I live, yet again
having conversation, natural conversation, and I find out this this
(34:01):
owner is struggling financially to pay electric bills.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
So I took care of a backdoory electric bill.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
And then and then, uh, and then when I was
fighting while I'm there, one day I find out the
hired hand that that this owner has she had she
had along with the owner.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
They're all sleeping on a you know, on the floor
in the in their in their you know room next
door to the restaurant. I'm thinking, you know, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
I can't save everyone. I'm not trying to save everyone,
but anyone who is in my path, I have something
to do with them, like God has me in their
path for a reason. So I'm not gonna like, uh like,
you know, act like I didn't see them sleeping on
the floor, and and while I had the means to
(34:54):
help them, so I bought them two bunk beds so
that all the four people that the owner one and
then the three workers can can sleep on an uncomfortable bed.
And a few days later I brought comforters because since
it gets cold and they said they were cold in
the night, so.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
That they would be warm.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
So small things like that are what I had envisioned,
you know, to leave from America to come to Uganda.
I knew I couldn't turn the economy around. But every
way that I can add income to the UH, add
money to the to their to their economy, it's going
(35:34):
to help someone. But anyone as well that is struggling
suffering in certain ways that I can help.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Then I would help.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
And then you know, when I moved to Vladimir, I was,
I was so impressed with your humble attitude to what
you're doing. I was, I was just I mean, it
just made my heart just feel so that you were
doing you were touching these lives with such generosity of love.
(36:08):
I mean, I mean, it's just really amazing. I know
we've had some conversations about calories not being really what
you want. It's the nutrition and the health and a
note you're focusing on that, and I just think, you know,
you buying the plastic bind so they had something to
store their food in instead of just paper boxes that
(36:30):
mice and different types of firmin could get into, and
to provide ways for them to make more nutritious food with,
like the blender so they could do smoothies and healthier
things for people to drink or and jest as compared
to the sodas. I mean, this is gigantic, and this
(36:50):
is really, I believe, the way that missionary or the
way we should all live our lives everywhere around the
world in all and I think most people you know
aspire to this in actuality, but may not be aware
that they can do this, Remeybror. When we took our
(37:11):
family with us, took we took our children around the
world and we went to India, and we went to Nepal,
and we went to Borneo in different places. And when
we got to India, I remember our car that we
were in was surrounded by children that were, you know,
begging and hungry, and it was it was very, very
(37:33):
hard on our hearts. And my children were about nine
and ten years old at the time, and I remember
looking at them and I said, you know, y'all, we
could stay home and not come here. We could you know,
not see this and not be part of it. There's
no way we can give all of these people enough
(37:54):
money and enough food. And if we did that, we
would get moved and it would be, you know, a
really tough situation for all of us. And we don't
want to put y'all in danger, or us in danger,
or these children in danger. And I said, you know,
we can come here and we can meet people, and
we can spend the money that we can't afford to
(38:15):
spend here, and we can share our information and we
can share our journey and information with our people back home.
But if we started, you know, just trying to give
out money willy nilly to just whoever you know, piled
around the car. We don't know what's going to happen
(38:35):
to them, and you know, is somebody going to rob them?
And so you know, I explained it to the children,
is we come here, we see the place, we share
what we can as we're able, but we you know,
you can't necessarily just start throwing out money to people.
(38:55):
And I think the way you've approached this in Uganda
by supporting like the cafe owner who's going to really
affect whole neighborhoods, right and a whole lot of people,
and them being a restaurant chef or owner, they're going
to have influence over what those people are ingesting and
(39:21):
you know the conversation even or you know the setting
and you making that cafe, and both of those cafes
actually more healthy, more joyful, I mean not sleeping on
the floor anymore freezing, I mean having a bed to
sleep in. They are really experiencing the divine love that
(39:44):
you have brought there. And I think that is such
a glorious gift that you have brought. And Vladimir, I
know you don't have a website yet. But if anybody
wants to contribute thinking to Vladimir Vladimir, how can they
get in touch with you if they want to, you know,
(40:08):
maybe help you out in any way, or just get
in contact with you to have you on their show,
or or you know, whatever it may be, send you
organic seeds or but you know, it's it's wild. But
our time is almost that we have. Your story has
(40:30):
been so heartwarming and beautiful, but we only have about
maybe six minutes left, and so I'd love for you
to share kind of your contact information with folks and
anything else you might want to share, and then we'll
have to wrap up our show. But I'm going to
(40:51):
have you back on and we're going to keep people
updated on your progress.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Sure, thank you so much again.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Yeah, yeah, uh, I'm going to be about the love
of God.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Here you nailed it.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
It is the love of God that I stressed him.
God loves you. I love you through God's love and
and and you they owe me nothing, You owe me nothing,
you know.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
No profit and so forth. Do I want to share
nothing with them? With them?
Speaker 4 (41:17):
So yes, my contact is my first name in my
last name at hotmail dot com to spell that which
is W. It's like Vladimir putt In, but Vladimir spelled
with a W and set up with the V W
L A D I M I R. And then Joseph
(41:39):
as in the father of Jesus Joseph j O S
E P H or Stepfather of Jesus at hotmail dot com. Now,
I am a software engineer. I'm in the process of
doing many things to try to get myself.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
More available online.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
But but for the time being, I only have my
email as a way to get get a hold of
me via communication. Fortunately, that same email happens to be
connected to my Zell account. So ze E sorry z
E l L. For the US audience, many people are
(42:18):
familiar or many people may be familiar with.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Sending money through Zel.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
So if you were wanting immediately send some money towards
my work in Uganda, that same email as well can
can be a way for you to send money through
your bank, your your Zell account which is often connected
to a bank account. So so that's one way to
(42:44):
both contact me physically or to send some donation as well.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
So, Vladimir, one of the things that you're going to
do is you're going to buy some land. This is
your your what you're looking for right now, and you're
going to start farming, doing organic farming, and I'm hoping
that the soil of life is going to be able
to connect you with the place or seeds that you
(43:15):
can use. And then you're going to work with local
people and help to teach them. Right now, you're keeping
chickens in your house because they were getting stolen outside
and so you know, all these chickens in your house
in glued to your rooster, and you know, that's a
(43:36):
whole another funny story that we talked about yesterday, and
I wish we had more time, but if you can
just close with a parting thought and maybe a little
update on your chickens in your house, it's hilarious. But
the chicken egg, you know I discussed is a wonderful
whole food for people that's really good protein and a
(44:00):
raw egg from a healthy chicken that's not fed GMO
corn and feed. It's actually, like doctor Stephanie Sennef of
MIT says, is like a whole vitamin pill. So you know,
you have like two minutes that you can here a
little bit before we have to close the show.
Speaker 4 (44:21):
Sure, So with the with the chickens, I yes, have
had two hens sold, and then now I'm a parate
to eleven chickens in the house, eight of them with
baby once and I'm trying to get them to be
hospitable to each other, which is the complicated process.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
But what I've learned is or what I'm hoping for,
is to model.
Speaker 4 (44:48):
Hospitable chickens that are hospitable to each other, can can
perhaps permit more chickens to be around each other, So
now we could have more eggs created right for people
who are housing chickens. So that's kind of the thing
that I am discovering, and I'm pursuing them to pursuing learning.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
Out or you know, make them work together.
Speaker 4 (45:10):
And the place that I'm saying it's a rental that is,
you know a little bit over zero point sixty seven acres,
and I'm modeling different farming techniques.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
So that I eventually have people come over. So I
think the party thought.
Speaker 4 (45:26):
Is if you yourself want to help, come go over
wherever you want and talk and learn the people, and
then deal with every issue or one in shide of
time that comes comes across your path.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
I think you will be blessed by that by God
for doing that.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
Yeah, that so beautiful and really yeah, for everyone out
there listening, you can do this in your neighborhood, you
can do this in your own area, you can do
it in your communities. And I do think putting that positive,
loving energy out that's what comes back to you and
(46:10):
you attract that. And bless your heart, Vladimir.
Speaker 5 (46:16):
I'm so grateful to have met you years ago and
to know you and to be a part of your
little you're exciting journey here. And I know that our
listeners are most lightly sending you lots of love as well,
(46:38):
so you know, just you you're our example of inspiration
of following what is in your heart with divine guidance.
And thank you and honored to have you on this
show today.
Speaker 3 (46:53):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (46:54):
Nay, I'm very honored to be on your show and
receive already the advice you've given me. I've already and
having raw eggs last spoke, So thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Oh, it's my pleasure. And for everyone out there listening,
Vladimir and I send you great love. We wish you peace,
and we wish you great health and as you go
through your life, and you connect with those around you.
Just remember to add that main ingredient, and that main
(47:26):
ingredient is always love.
