Suntou,
 
It is indeed sad. I have a feeling professionalism is to blame. Try  this:
 
Suggest to the organisation in Birmingham to start a (free) quarterly  
newsletter to inform all members and non-members of the activities of the  
organisation, budget, statement of accounts, etcetera, and dedicated columns of  
obituaries, births, weddings, and other community events. deposit the  newsletters 
at gathering places, and mail some to other Gambians who can neither  attend 
nor have the inclination to attend. Always have a quarterly calendar of  
meetings and events. I think it will work.
 
On the behalf of my family, I pledge $800.00 to the Gambian association of  
Birmingham to assist in mitigating arrears to the funeral home. You may 
consider  a written letter to the funeral director thanking him or her for the 
honourable  gesture and I presume interest-free. WHo is the treasurer of the 
association?  WHen I speak with you, I will enquire further detail to complete my  
pledge.
 
Haroun Al Khairawan. MQDT. Darbo.
