Good Job , GLC.

I will give you guys anything sent to me or simply redirect them too you.
I do not like to handle money generally because someone will always come up with
where did he get it questions if you are seen with a new pair of shoes or  a
clean car or anything of value.
I want to help very much as always in the past but  feesabillah only.

Pa Ndarow Sey of the Gambia Muslim Assn. and Alhagi Lamar will be at the Muslim
Community Center at silver spring on Friday 27 1999 to pass on the information
copied and maybe collect on your behalf or the Gambia Muslim Assn.

The amount needed is just $5000.00 (per Tombong's message) Dalasis 50,000
One rich donor/businessman may just give that whole amount alone. It can be that
easy. .Inshallah.

A little piece of addition to all this

Even if we cannot help financially a simple phone call back home to check on
family and friends would be highly appreciated. The africa calling  card
($10.00) gets you almost 30 minutes
