Comrades: I am happy to announce that Gambians in Raleigh/ Durham have formed an association called The Gambia Welfare Association. Gambians within a 100 mile radius of Raleigh/Durahm area are encouraged to join. The main purpose of this association is in the event of death of any Gambian, whether a member or not, a visitor or parent of any Gambian who dies within a 100-mile radius of Raleigh/ Durham area,the association will bear funeral and shipping costs for the deceased to be flown to The Gambia. We felt that we no longer have to ask Gambians and friends of The Gambia to contribute in helping a family send their love ones back home to The Gambia. Monthly contribution is $10. Please contact Mr. Kinteh Darboe at 919-865-7612, or you can call me at 336-854-3019. Our organization is non tribal, non political and yes non religious. We believe that we are one family, and as such must come together. Our next meeting is scheduled for Sunday March 25 in Raleigh. Please call for directions. Naphiyo, Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
