Tombong When I get my pay at the end of this month (in five days' time) I will send my contribution to you . I need an address to indicate on the form. Kuntaur is my father's resident hometown but Kaur is where my eldest sister Nimreh Diab has been for over forty years. I will pass the word around here and tell Imam Fysal Khan make an announcement during the Friday-jummah prayers. Usually all the Gambians and Senegalese come to our center MCC in Silver Spring to pray. Maybe we can get someone to collect and send the funds to a designated person on your list Habib Diab Ghanim, Sr TOMBONG SAIDY wrote: > Gambia-l, > Below is a press release seeking assistance from all concern individuals > particularly the citizens of Kaur on the list.
