Gibby, thanks for your interest. Briefly, during the on-line commemoration of the July 10/11 Massacre, Dr. Abdoulaye Saine proposed that we (Gambians and friends of Gambia) start a "Save The Gambia Fund" for the purpose of funding a United Opposition (coalition) for the 2006 Presidential elections. Contributors will pledge to donate a certain sum, monthly for this purpose. Some individuals just want to donate a one time lump sum of whatever they can afford. Right now, we a compiling a list of those that wish to pledge and the list is closing to 50 and counting. We have a Preamble Draft for the management of the fund and the contributors will dictate the course for this fund. That is where we are at. Seeing that it is a very good idea and one that has great potential for the opposition, myself and a host of other Gambians and friends of Gambia jumped in to help jump start the fund. More info. and feedback is on the way, so please stay tuned. If you wished to pledge, just let us know and how much you want us to put you down. IF you wish to be anonymous, just send me a private mail and I will assign you a number that is confidential to you and myself alone, for your protection. Please take a look at the preamble draft for more direction. Hope this helped.
