Thank you Mr Gassama for sharing this information with us. I would also like to thank all the partners involved in making this possible. I say Bravo! Your presentation deals partly with the same issues as the article I sent. It is true that without the proper infrastructure in place it is almost impossible to incorporate the farmers needs. Whether the infrastructure is completed or not the question is, where do we go from there? You are right though, I was trying to provoke a professional discussion among our very best. I would like to see a discussion that will go beyond our political affiliations in this matter, concentraditing more on what is possible and what is not. This is my hope, what others make of the article I sent is something I have no control over. One thing I think we all have in common, is the love we all have for our very best farmers. Even though we might have different whys in sawing it. Been part of this farming community, I would like to know how this new technology can make my work easier? If I can put it this way; Is it possible to have information from the internet, computer or mobile phones without being able to read or write? I thank you all in advance Modou >From: Jungle Sunrise Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list >To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Internet use for rural >development in The Gambia.
