Dear Mr. Demba Baldeh,

We are honoured to have received your gift of $50.00 in Ellenecho's 
efforts to the Chief Ebrima Manneh Family. You have always been on the 
frontlines to afford relief for your fellow journalists and citizens of 
Gambia where it mattered. This gift is another in your tradition of 
gifting and soutien of shared sacrifices. We are enriched by your 
generous examples. You are the rock of our community here at Ellen and 
we are in good hands with you as Secretary General of the GPU-USA where 
you guide the larger effort to bring relief to your coleagues and their 
families. It is the invisible and unsung peace of mind and sustenance 
you afford your coleagues that will prove most appreciative and 
enriching of all journalists in Gambia. Thank you Demba and may Allah 
keep and guide you and your family. DaarManso has a way of protecting 
the family which protects other families.

Dear Hon. Saihou Mballow,
 
Thank you for your gift of $50.00 to the Ellenecho fundraising effort. 
It demonstrates your trademark generousity and spirit which has now 
become legendary in the Gambian diaspora community. I happen to know 
that your wonderful son Ibrahim shares the same name as Chief Ebrima 
Manneh and it is uncanny how the young Ibrahim is taking on your 
qualities. Toward City Island, I teased him by repeating his sentences. 
He got baffled, but recovered quickly with this comeback; "You, you, 
you're a complicated man". He has the best guidance in the world and I 
am confident he will grow to be a wonderful young man. May DaarManso 
keep and guide him, Jabs, Nata, Fatima, and your lovely wife Mrs. 
Mballow. Thank you for your unrivalled hospitalities through the years.

Thank you JDAM for your donation to the family of Chief Ebrima Manneh. 
You have always accompanied your fellow citizens in yielding relief and 
consideration for other. You are an inspiration to all of us and all 
Gambia and our community here at Ellen is the better off for it. When 
it counts, when the rubber meets the road, you have afforded the 
requisite lubricant to keep life going. For another day. For another 
month. For another year. The story goes; Two blind men at either side 
of the dabanani river effort to cross. One hollered at the other: "how 
do you get across to the other side"? and the other retorted: "Silly, 
You ARE on the other side." I am pleased to be on the other side with 
you JDAM. Thank you.
 
Thank you Yero for your generous donations to the Chief Manneh Family 
Fund. Your gift to The GOLD FUND has also been received and a new 
update of that fund will include this your second contribution to that 
effort. Your spirit is contagious and during these times of financial 
stringency I am confident your gift has many competing demands. We are 
humbled that the relief of other occupies a large space in your heart. 
May DaarManso continue to keep, guide, and bless you and your family.
 
For a net receipt of $30.00 Demba is now free from the custody of 
Ellenecho bay until new receipts for his re-boxing warrant so. This 
temporal freedom affords Demba the opportunity to seek counsel to 
represent him in his trial should he still believe in his innocence. If 
Demba pleads guilty and waives his rights to trial, then we can proceed 
to box Suntou for the chagrin he has caused Demba and other fellow 
citizen. Should we receive another donation for Demba's boxing prior to 
his plea of guilt, he will be further remanded until such time as net 
indicates his freedom again.
 
We, at the community of Ellen and Gambiaecho have arraigned and placed 
our coleague and friend Demba Baldeh in our custody - The Ellenecho 
Bay. This was as a result of Demba's admission that he can be both 
biased and neutral at the same time while being an editor of the 
indomitable Gainako and Secretary General of the GPU-USA. Demba 
announces this disposition without due regard to the anxieties he 
caused our other coleague and friend Suntou. After numerous exchanges 
as to the merit of this disposition, we the Ellen and Echo communities 
are not able to yield closure on the seminal quandry. Indeed the 
tonguicoff offered no secours for the rest of us who may be afflicted 
with the same conflict.
 
Being the good sport that he is, Demba has ascended to his own 
arraignment here in order that we may yield arithemetic discernment of 
his value as biased and neutral simultaneously as Secretary General of 
the GPU-USA. Therefore, $20.00 placed him in confinement not to speak 
at the Ellen or Echo community until such time as another of our 
coleagues and friends determines it is valuable to have the 
simultaneously conflicted Demba released.
 
To secure Demba's continued incarceration or Freedom, que sa soit, you 
are encouraged to send your donation to:
 
The Global Democracy Project
Chief Manneh Family Fund
P.O. Box 775
Lithia Springs, GA 30122
 
Please mark: Demba Jail or Demba Free as you desire.
 
For those of our coleagues who reside outside the US and wish to 
participate here, please send your gifts in the form of international 
money orders and or bank check. We encourage you to plead with your 
friends and family in the US to complete your gifting for you where 
that is possible.
 
We will share a running tally with the communities from time to time or 
as appropriate when Demba's release becomes imminent. Until net 
receipts suggest Demba's release, Demba remains in our custody. All 
proceeds from this fundraiser will be forwarded to the GPU-USA as Ellen 
and Echo's contribution to the larger effort in the Chief Manneh Family 
name.
 
Our coleagues Mr. Baba Galleh Jallow and Mr. Lamin J. Darbo may issue a 
moratorium at any time during the fundraiser to grant any detainee 
reprieve. In the event the two gentlemen are deadlocked, our coleague 
Mr. Yero Jallow will break the deadlock and his determination will be 
incontestable.
 
For those of our coleagues who wish to bypass this scheme and gift 
directly to the Chief Manneh Family Fund, we encourage you to send your 
donations to:
 
The GPU-USA
C/O Lamin Jatta
1470 Jesup Avenue
Bronx, NY 10452
 
Please annotate your gifting: GPU-USA Chief Manneh Family Fund
 
Thank you one and all and I encourage you to participate in yielding 
understanding on the seminal question of whether we can be both biased 
and neutral at the same time while we head a professional association 
without undue affect on our fellow citizens.
 
Haruna.
