Dr. Janneh, That is really a big step. Things are coming as we go. I was very impressed with the drive to Gunjur when I visited. It took me 28 minutes from Kerewan to Barra. That was also very impressive. It is my understaning that the building of roads is also continuing. Sure progress is being made. Otheriwse, I hope you enjoyed your trip? Ousman Jallow Bojang.

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.
