It is indeed baffling Njok. Embarrassing, to say the least.

It is a shame that people who are practising or ex journalists, human rights and democracy campaigners living right here in Uk and very active on online fora; don't even see fit the need to chip in the odd tenner. "Ndimbal Nah Cha Feka Lohoi Borom" so they say God helps those who help themselves.

And thanks to the Manneh family and all who contributed to this worthy cause. I think the money should be transfered to our treasurer Joe Sambou. We have the Manneh family covered for at least one more month with the funds already sent and we will see when next to send them more. It seems we have them covered for at least three to four more months, if not for the rest of the year. Thanks to all who have helped the GPU-USA make this possible. May God repay your kindness.

But we'll catch up I assure you. Thanks for the generous contribution and for your vote of confidence in another matter. Thanks too to our anonymous contributors.

Let Jeng collect from the UK (if that is acceptable by Jeng) and we can later discuss where the monies should be forwarded to (US or Gambia).

Since we issued the first call over two weeks ago, we have only received a contribution of $50 from one individual. This is rather disheartening considering the outpouring of outrage and sympathy over Chief Manneh's disappearance in the hands of the Jammeh dictatorship. The GPU-USA has already sent the family $500, which is enough to keep them going for at least three months. See below for an update on those funds from GPU-Gambia Chairperson Ndey Tapha Sosseh. A small amount can go a long way in alleviating the suffering of this family. We are therefore renewing our call for contributrions, however small, to enable us to keep helping this family. No amount is too small - 5, 10, 20 dollars - whatever you can contribute. Please write out your checks to our able treasurer Joseph Sambou and mail to him at 8046 South Kimbark Avenue, Chicago, IL 60619. We wish to ask those who have already pledged to please mail in their checks. Thank you all. Baba G. Jallow Secretary General GPU-USA (Below is the text of the email from GPU-Gambia) Baba, I've received the money (D12,858)and have informed the rest of the gpu executive and advisors. We will be calling the Manneh family to make an appt for midweek. As discussed yesterday, we have agreed to spend the money as follows Condiments 4 bags Rice @ 850 = 3400 2 20 Ltr Drums Cooking Oil @ 750 = D1500 2 Bags Sugar D350 = D700 1 Bag Onions = D300 Total = D5900 Cash for Father = D1500 Cash for Mother = D1000 Grand Total = 8400 The remaining 4458 will be topped up to 5000 by me and given to them in two monthly installments of D2500. We'll also make sure that it gets adequate coverage. Ndey Tapha check out the rest of the Windows Live™. More than mail–Windows Live™ goes way beyond your inbox.
