You are a good sport brother Bourghibe. I just wanted to acknowledge your submission. I am off to a meeting in Chattanooga. I should be there in another hour or so. I will review your answers and valuate them soon. Meanwhile, don't forget to send in your contribution if you think this exercise could be valuable. When you send your contribution, don't forget to submit some questions (and their answers so we can research the answers beforehand) for future quizzes. The questions do not have to be strictly about Gambia. They can be about Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, SierraLeone, Liberia, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Lebanon, or General disciplines and subjects. Mark your checks and instruments for "Brain of Gambia" and send to: Haruna Darbo Brain of Gambia P.O. Box 19534 Atlanta, GA 30325. Remmember you have an opportunity to attempt the questions you skipped before the roll-up date. Your winnings this time are earmarked for FJManneh. I will kindly plead with the Upper Niumi folk to bear with us for next time. We will establish charities with the participation of contributors in due course, before the next month's quiz depending on the number of contributors. I think we can set a target of 10 contributors for that purpose. In other words if we have 10 or more contributors by the 10th of November, 2007, we will discuss what charities are eligible for winners. The charities will necessarily include ourselves. e.g. Eligible charities for Brain of Gambia Trust are: Self Charity A Charity B Etc. One idea I am thinking of is a micro-loans program for small business persons in the hinterland of Gambia. I will hold on to that until we develop this idea as we go. Another step in developing the Brain of Gambia will be a permanent board of Advisors or directors who will research questions and answers and present them in unambiguous form once a month, plus the registration of the concern in Gambia as an NGO. I'm thinking big Men. What about you? Shukran ya Wuld Ammi. Masoud, wal mutawakkil. MQDT. Darbo. In a message dated 10/11/2007 5:09:24 A.M.
