To the Gambians in Norway and Scandanvia,

I sincerely thank the Gambian Community in Norway for granting me the
opportunity to share our experiences.  It was also great to put faces to the
names one see on the G-L.  I also enjoyed myself and met friends,
relatives,former schoolmates  but also made new friends.  Thanks for
everything and hope that you will continue to do your quote in creating
awareness amongst Gambians and non-Gambians alike.

Amie.
