I would like to take this opportunity to provide a character reference for Mr. John Mayekiso. I have known John for some time as a fellow member of the 10:00 AM Community at the Santa Clara University Mission. As a volunteer, I serve in the capacity of Coordinator of the South Bay CROP Walk for Church World Service. John expressed an interest in this event, which raises funds to reduce hunger and poverty throughout the world. We have become friends since that time.
John is studying electrical engineering in the Masters program at Santa Clara University. He appears to be serious about his studies there. John is also a fine athlete playing soccer on the Ghana under 17 team. He is the nephew of Archbishop Peter K. Sarpong of the Catholic Diocese of Kumasi, Ghana. In talking to John, I have been impressed by his responsible nature and dedication to his faith. He has served in a missionary capacity with the Catholic church in Europe, Latin America and South Africa.
John is a very serious individual and has expressed concern about others whom he has known that may have indulged in excessive drinking or irresponsible behavior. I think that you can count on the fact that John would never engage in such activities and encourages others to do what's right.
Sincerely yours,
Craig and Jean Leventon
