Its been 21/2 years since my message on notable Gambians.  Thanks to all 
those who sent in names. My goal is to take things a step further and to 
create an online searchable database that would allow users to search 
for people using first name, last name and/ profession to retrieve their 
biographic data. To do that I would need volunteer writers, editors and 
web-developers. Those interested, let me know what you can do.  Please 
note this list in not complete. I will send out the entire list once we 
have interested folks.

Malanding



Here is an example below adapted from Hughes and Gailey's Historic 
dictionary of the Gambia. Missing is Mr. Jahumpa's  childhood, family 
and other contributions.
In all about  300 - 500 words. An official or unofficial picture will be 
great.


Ibrahim Momodou Garba-Jahumpa (1912 - 1994). Teacher, labor leader and 
politician. Prominent member of the Bathurst Young Muslims Society 
(BYMS), Mr. Jahumpa was appointed to the Bathurst Town Advisory Council 
in 1941. In 1947 he created the Gambia Amalgamated Trade Union (GATU), 
co-founded the Gambia Muslim Congress (GMC) in 1952 and was later 
elected first Chairman of the Bathurst Town Council in 1959. Held 
several government portfolios including Agriculture and Natural 
Resources;  Health and Social Welfare and Finance ministries.
