<br>L'ers,
<br>
<br>On behalf of the Christensen family, I would like to thank you all for
your prayers, words of encouragement and concern.
<br>
<br>
<br>UPDATE:
<br>We just received news from Gambia that the watchman and the DJ also
sustained burn related injuries as a result of the attack on Radio 1 FM early
this morning. They are all presently at a medical facility receiving
treatment. It is indeed tragic that our once "Smiling Coast" is fast becoming
the "Crying Coast".
<br>
<br>Will keep you posted on the progress of George and his staff at Radio 1.
<br>
<br>Thanks,
<br>Astrid/
