You are a good sport brother Bourghibe. I just wanted to acknowledge your
submission. I am off to a meeting in Chattanooga. I should be there in another
hour or so. I will review your answers and valuate them soon.
Meanwhile, don't forget to send in your contribution if you think this
exercise could be valuable. When you send your contribution, don't forget to
submit some questions (and their answers so we can research the answers
beforehand) for future quizzes. The questions do not have to be strictly about Gambia.
They can be about Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, SierraLeone,
Liberia, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Lebanon, or General disciplines and subjects.
Mark your checks and instruments for "Brain of Gambia" and send to:
Haruna Darbo
Brain of Gambia
P.O. Box 19534
Atlanta, GA 30325.
Remmember you have an opportunity to attempt the questions you skipped
before the roll-up date. Your winnings this time are earmarked for FJManneh. I
will kindly plead with the Upper Niumi folk to bear with us for next time. We
will establish charities with the participation of contributors in due course,
before the next month's quiz depending on the number of contributors. I think
we can set a target of 10 contributors for that purpose. In other words if we
have 10 or more contributors by the 10th of November, 2007, we will discuss
what charities are eligible for winners. The charities will necessarily
include ourselves. e.g. Eligible charities for Brain of Gambia Trust are:
Self
Charity A
Charity B
Etc.
One idea I am thinking of is a micro-loans program for small business
persons in the hinterland of Gambia. I will hold on to that until we develop this
idea as we go. Another step in developing the Brain of Gambia will be a
permanent board of Advisors or directors who will research questions and answers
and present them in unambiguous form once a month, plus the registration of the
concern in Gambia as an NGO. I'm thinking big Men. What about you?
