Splendid Jabou. Congratulations to your daughter. You are just being humble but I know Duke. Duke is no Gambia University. But I join you in hoping it gets there.
You deserve high commendation too for instilling in your youngons the value of the written word and care for their fellow human beings. If your efforts and achievements are anything to go by, your children will be admirable world citizens.
I know you are going "whatever" but this was from the bottom of my heart. You are making it harder and harder for me to round up the requisite number of cattle. I might need to borrow some from Crawford. (lol).
Thank you for your prayers for other young Gambians. Mark of a great parent.
Les plus importants transformations sont les modifications "accidentelles".
I felt it a duty to let you know that she graduated with flying colours this Sunday May 12, from Duke University in Durham North Carolina. It was a great Mother's day present for me, and a source of great pride for her dad as well.
I thank all of you who have enquired privately about her progress, and wished her continued success over the last four years. May Allah shower his blessings on all of you and yours, and especially to our young people who hold such great promise for the future. I am glad we do have a national university now, and I hope that all the efforts towards that are sincere, and fueled only by a deep desire to create opportuinty for our young people, for they are the future and if we do not prepare them well, we are doomed.
