Badou de Kaolack,
This is a friendly challenge to you, the businessman. If it is possible for
you to contribute any amount to our friend Pa Modou Bojang's relief before
the end of October 2010, my uncle in Canada Nurudeen Jabbie agrees to
match your contribution dollar for dollar even if he will lose during the
currency exchange.
It is only a friendly challenge and if you are unable to meet the challenge
at this time, I will understand. Do let me know so I can get another
challenger for uncle Nurudeen. We can use the funds. Mr. Bojang's case is
getting close to reaching a climax and retiring his legal debt will be one more
headache he has to deal with as his fate is being decided by the UK courts.
Thank you in advance BDK.
Haruna.

Friends and coleagues,
I come to you once again to join with you in yielding relief for our friend
and countryman Pa-Modou Bojang. I take this opportunity to again thank all
of you for assisting with The Chief Manneh Family Relief Fund and The
Kanyibaa Kanyi Family Relief Fund. Those who have pledged in those fundraisers,
but for one reason or the other could not complete their generous pledges
are encouraged to complete their gifting to the Pa-Modou Bojang Relief Fund.
We are all by now aware of Pa-Modou's chagrin and angst. Our friend and
fellow citizen who worked as a journalist with a UNESCO-sponsored community
radio station in Brikama educated and informed Gambians under enormous threat
and risk. Government harrassment, threats to his person and property, and
NIA arrest and detention, were Pa-modou's experiences as he toiled to
elevate the consciences of a destituted people. He did not do it for fame and
riches. He did not do it for any future remuneration or fancy. He did it
because of his love for broadcasting and his fundamental rights of free
expression and speech.
Pa-Modou was able to flee the persecutions in Gambia to the UK. The land
of the free spirit. The land of Human Rights and considerate justice. Now
Pa-Modou is again under threat. Threat of deportation from the UK back to
Gambia. Could a single human being endure such torment and despondency? We are
delighted to hear that the UK government has re-considered Pa-Modou's
expeditious deportation and we look forward to that government according him
full Asylum and relief. All this did not come easily. It came via frantic
efforts of Pa-Modou's friends, Amnesty-International-UK, his fellow citizens,
distinguished UK citizens, his legal aid advisor, and the law firm of one of
his fellow citizens. We are forever indebted to these good samaritans, who
helped save a life.
Pa-Modou's friends in the UK have embarked on a fund-raising effort to
retire his legal debts. They are reaching out to us for support in this area.
Our coleague and fellow citizen Abdoukarim is in touch with Britt and other
friends of Pa-Modou in the UK, that we may yield Pa-Modou relief through a
synergy of all our efforts.
Thank you for your audience and considerations.
Please send your generous gifts and pledges to:
The Global Democracy Project
For: Pa-Modou Bojang Relief Fund
P.O. Box 775
Lithia Springs, GA 30122
I begin the effort by pledging $50.00 to the effort.
