Jabou, Chris, Yaya and others, thanks for your responses and knowledge
sharing and sorry for my late response.  Time was really not on my side
these past weeks, thus the silence.  Below is a site forwarded by Yaya
Darboe that is also a good teaching aid for some of us.  It was a good
learning experience and reminds me of how much I need to learn about the
things in our environment, such as Jaxatu, Mampata, Sadame, Haale, etc.  Any
takers? :-)!  But seriously, we need to teach the kids in the Gambia about
the science of these produce and others that we consume seasonally.

Chi Jaama

Joe Sambou
