>Acknowledgements
>Thank you, "jerejef," "abarka," "danke," "merci," etc, etc for your
>contributions to the Edward G. Njie Scholarship Fund.
>
>The Board members extend their heartfelt gratitude to all who contributed
>to the Fund in any way. Without your generous contributions, selfless
>attitude, it would have been impossible. Special thanks to our non-Gambian
>friends who albeit have no vested interest in the Gambia, have interest in
>the progression of our brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, and
>those yet to be born. Also special thanks to Bernadette Roberts, Joe
>Sambou, Latjor Ndow, Gabriel Bon Thomas, and others behind the scenes for
>their unwavering support and commitment in disseminating Scholarship
>information.
>Special thanks to the Gambia Department of State for Education for sending
>a representative to witness the presentations.
>
>Feel free to view the names of our generous contributors at the web site.
>It is nice, selfless, appropriate, and most important human to acknowledge
>and recognize their generous spirit. It is through simple acts as such that
>help us strengthen and maintain the most fundamental value we all share -
>our humanity!!
>
>Moving Forward .
>The Board members are encouraged with the overwhelming support from donors
>and responses received from over 20 applicants. Unfortunately, we were
>unable to fund ALL our applicants, but we are hopeful that with more
>contributors, this would be possible in ensuing years. Feel free to send
>your contributions at any time to the addresses provided at the web site.
>For a stronger and richer Gambia, we must have an educated nation!
>
>We DO know the economic condition of our motherland and, most importantly,
>that of an average Gambian. The time to theorize has long gone; the time to
>intervene to develop and support our people is NOW or some might say - was
>yesterday. One thing we can learn from our American friends residing in the
>most powerful nation in the world: we cannot expect our leadership to act
>in a timely manner to help people at the grassroots, but we can support
>each other in helping our own people, any way we can, to meet their needs.
>Provide our Gambian children with opportunities to "janger m彋ier."
>Fishing nets to go fishing!! Education is the key!
>
>In Nelson Mandela's words "Education is the most powerful weapon you can
>use to change the world. It is also a weapon that the world cannot do
>without . . Education saves lives."
>
>The UN Millennium Development Goals state that we "achieve universal
>primary education" by "ensuring that all boys and girls complete a full
>course of primary school."
>
>Mr. Edward G. Njie believed in education at all levels. He believed that
>with education, human potentialities are limitless. This Scholarship Fund
>serves to continue Mr. Edward G. Njie's mission and his vision for our
>citizenry.
>
>It is with this vision that The Edward G. Njie Scholarship Fund was
>established and the Board now recognizes and presents the first recipients
>and will continue with the Fund's mission to nurture our students'
>potential for a progressive nation.
>
>Donations
>Collection of donations is ongoing. Please continue to send your
>contributions to the Fund. For more information, visit the web site or
>write to the addresses provided.

>Thank for your continued support and generosity!
