Dear Ayat Discussion Board Members,

     I would like you to help me gather and compile our population in the U.S. It is a demanding task to collect names of our people in a vast country like U.S.

      Although I have tried up and down to collect all our names, the list that I have is insufficient and inconclusive. The following reasons can account for this insufficiency:

• I might not know where all our people live;
  
• I might have forgotten to include some names out of sheer ignorance;
  
• New arrivals from Africa in recent months might have skewed the numbers that I collected last year.

       For that matter, I have posted all the names that I have gathered so as to give you an opportunity in helping or correcting my errors. Thus, I would like the following individuals to cross-check their respective states and send me corrections or more names should there be any:
