Mo, thanks for your response and this is the first time I am seeing that
quote from Soffie Ceesay.  In between, I have corresponded with her twice
and she indicated that she had responded to my mails and I told her that I
did not see them.  Yes, I did hear from Saul, but he declined the offer to
help due to other conditions.  I am glad that someone has volunteered to
collect the funds and I will send Soffie a private mail to transfer the
funds already collected and direct others that wish to contribute to her.
Thank you for informing me about the quote.

Chi Jaama

Joe Sambou
