Dampha, thanks for your response and support.  As you know I extended the invitation to D.C., but since I did not hear from them after I offered for them to take charge of the funds, and in the process Abdoulaye Saine gave me a vote of confidence, I decided to step up to the plate.  Every individual or group is welcome to join in this effort.  I once again call on all people or groups with interest to help raise these funds to come forth.  No one should be invited, for this process is owned by all concerned.  We have talked about this issue long enough for anybody to start the process.  So, on that note, let's get the job done.  Thanks for all your efforts in the struggle to win back Gambia for all Gambians.
