Dear members of the the Gambia and related-issues mailing list

I was watching  CNN TV programs and I feel overwhelmed to experience who the
entire world is peacefully joining in celebrating the event of passing over
to the new millennium.

It is as well a great experience to witness activities all over the world.
It is amazing to see that every hour there is a climax as the time line is
coming to a city with major importance. Concerning the activities there are
cultural differences but for example for the music they do even play the
same materials. Although the Year 2000 is rooted in the Christian system
(all other religions perform a differnt counting systems all join in peace
and harmony.

I hope that this will be a sign that there is positive developments in the
next millennium – peace, understanding that all people on this earth are
equal and capable to share in joint activities.

I think that this will be a millennium of new technologies like solar and
other alternative powers, information technologies and services for the well
being of  people. This will give African countries a big chance. Now it is
time and chance for Africa! The weakness in infrastructure will become a
strength for non developed countries as soon new technologies arrive.

As President Clinton just said: "This will be a century of globalisation,
technologie and science."

Lets hope for a good future

My best wishes for the millenium to all
from Germany Yours
Angelika Prox Dampha
