2007 marks Nubia Wardford's fourth year of fund-raising and archaeological study in Ancient Nubia. Using monies raised in 2004, she was able to travel to Paris for the Meroitic Conference of Nubian Studies. Nubia met and talked with the professors of the University of Khartoum and Shendi University.  She met the top anthropologists, archaeologists, linguist and paleontologists from around the world that study Nubian archaeology. The group composed of Dr. Anderson Thompson, Dr. Leonard Jeffries, Nubia, and two other students of archaeology were the only African Americans present at the conference. They also met with Sudanese presenters and participants from the University of Shendi, Archaeology School of Sudan, and the University of Khartoum. There, Nubia was fortunate to meet the Prime minister of Sudan and the President of National Monuments and Conservation, who offered Nubia employment after the completion of her Doctoral studies.

This year she will travel to Egypt and the Sudan to tour the Sacred Cities of Ancient Nubia and to meet and talk with the professors of the University of Khartoum and Shendi University.  All this would not have been possible without past fund-raisers, and we are forever thankful!!

Nubia is truly dedicated to this task and looks forward to her studies at the University of Khartoum. Nubia does this not only for her own interests, but to complete and correct World History as we know it, and specifically to fill in the chronology of Pre-Historic and Ancient Africa. The reclamation and recovery of our history is an arduous and necessary task that will educate and enlighten us now and in the future.
