Hi!
    I join others in wishing George a speedy recovery and in condemning in
the strongest terms the cowardly act perpetrated against such a hardworking
individual. George's Radio 1 has immensely contributed not only to Gambians'
entertainment but also to their education. It is therefore extremely
disheartening to see how George and his staff's lives and property were
threatened. Our prayers are with you George, staff and family. What can we
as Gambians do? What was the extent of the damage? Is it possible to set up
a collection for George to help him get back up? What do you think?

Buharry.
