Comrades: Within six hours after the tragic death of Mr. Kebba Janneh, Gambians in Raleigh, NC raised more than $5,000 to send Kebba back to The Gambia. My appreciation goes ouy to Mr Mambara Jobe, formally of Gunjur and Chairman of The Gambia Welfare Association. I was impressed by Jobe's relentless effort in rallying Gambians. This is the kind of community work we need every where. We have done it and we can do more to join together irrespective of our differences. I am proud to be a Gambian. The Gambia Welfare Association in Raleigh encourages Gambians around the globe to form sister organizations. Our intent is to make sure that a Gambian who dies within a 100 mile radius of Raleigh is sent home to be buried. Death comes ! God alone knows why? 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 To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
