I enjoyed reading your narration of your trip to the Gambia.  I am very familiar with all these areas as these were under my division from 1991 to 1994 as a divisional engineer at Bakau R-Yard.  I was then on contract, hired by UNDP/World Bank from the States.  Anyway, I have my own construction company here in Florida and in December, I will be going to the Gambia to set up a branch of my company and hopefully will be engaged in high quality civil, commercial, and residential construction.  Please check out our website at www.barrowconstruction.com for more information.  I am attaching a couple of our finished products and one on going for everyone to see.

Thanks.

you are right jambarr.ebou town is equally bad ,i couldn't even find the old 
oroyaa office .the road round that end is just nowhere.but from westfield to 
ambo (senegambia garage) to bakoteh tipa garage .from tipa garage to sukuta 
anchaba and sukuta sabige .pass through bakoteh is all hell holes.my cough is 
etting worse .the dust,heat and the cars swinging at pedestrian is all a bad 
ocktail.now i travel by foot up to westfield and then i board the banjul 
ans.come see the bluffs of the early morning van drivers.they choose where to 
ick up passengers. people keep on saying BANJUL APARANTEH ,BANJUL ,BANJUL .may 
e after ten banjuls one van will stop .but then in midday ,the van drivers now 
tart calling banjul banjul.even in some parts of banjul the roads are bad.
  
 on the talinding high ways ,the annoying traffic lights.the bad 
rivers.drivers turning every where.vans stopping without warning .men ,the 
ambia needs mental food .i show deyda halake at the air port bound for uk last 
eek.
  
 the budung road is also deteriorating fast .the ebrima ceesay inaugurated road 
ot the babun fatty area .the babun fatty arena area is also bad.we need masoud 
nd his talent to design sustainable roads.our people are suffering whilst you 
ut there are enjoying .from yero,bambalaye,yanks.men we need you folks.the 
nternet cost D15 per hour .and you have to look over your shoulder incase any 
ABURAMA is looking .bye.

any people are concerned about Ibo town but the westfield - sukuta road is the 
orst in the Gambia,
 doubt very much if president Jammeh have travelled that road and see how it 
s. A distance that used to take 15-20 minutes is now taking almost an hour to 
rive.
