Sister Jabou,
Thank you for your words of commendation, but I must quickly add that
besides those being heard, there are thousands of Gambians out there, both
old and young, who by far excell me in terms of maturity and wisdom. It is
indeed you and others who have been contributing on this discussion board,
and have set remarkable standards, that should be commended. Many of you
have been playing highly inspirational roles, and we only hope that the
momentum you have generated will be augmented as we forge ahead.
Thank you all for having inspired me too.
Omar Joof.
