Folks, Phase One of the much awaited Rural Electrification Programmme is currently underway in The Gambia. Stacks of electric poles are piled along the Kombo Coastal Roads, to the delight of many of us. This phase is expected to cover an area up to Sanyang. Gunjur and Kartong are to be included in the second phase, which will follow shortly. In addition, a water project for Gunjur has reportedly been signed and is expected to be implemented very soon. This is progress! Amadou SJ "Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon...must inevitably come to pass" (J. Meyers). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
