We can only thank you for your concern Ginny.  How
funny, at a time when some sons of Gambia are shooting
bullets at young Gambians, non Gambians like you
extend their hands to help.  But I guess both good and
bad people can be found in all nationalities.  But
stay on the net, we are indeed putting together a plan
of action in which everyone's help will be needed.
Also, keep bringing your ideas in.  We need all the
help we can get.
