James Randi, still Debunking? Visit Seychelles!

I was wondering if James Randi is still in the business of debunking fakes, because my country desperately needs someone like him to do it. Even if we are developing as a country, the majority of the country is religious, but that isnt the real problem, the problem is that these religions teach them to be superstitious.
We have "demonic possessions", "hauntings", there was a newspaper article entirely dedicated to a "womans account of how she battled with the devil" (not kidding), they believe in the Loup Garu (werewolf) because we hear stories of cows getting butchered and their blood drained, people are scared and there are exorcisms left right and center, but these only ever happen to people whose families are already superstitious and religious (never happens to skeptical people). We have a church called The Assemblies of God of Seychelles, where people pay the 10% and claim to have wheelchair people walking, people talking in tongues, priests levitating, people fainting, the whole shabang. We SERIOUSLY need someone like James Randi.
Is it even remotely possible to get him into this? I know its a long shot, but maybe he would be interested, plus it'd be like a holiday, because seychelles is a travel destination!

Just this year Randi has decided to retire as head of the James Randi Foundation. But he claims he is still going to be in the business of debunking charlatans and will also be writing.
