Gainako's blessings and successes goes back to all of you great guardians, contributors, sponsors, readers and well wishers. Entire Team Gainako is greatly humbled by the good relationship we continue to have with Gambians and friends of the Gambia. We are able to continue operations because of the support we continue to receive despite the limited resources and time under which we operate. On sunday 9/15/13, we had Pa Samba Jow (Freedom Newspaper), Musa Saidykhan (Kibaroo), Omar Bah (American Street News), Bubacarr Sowe (The Gambia Dispatch) and Demba Baldeh (Gainako) on Radio to discuss the achievements of the online media and some the challenges facing the online media. It was such a nice and educative review. Gainako came to complement the efforts of others in the struggle both as an independent alternative voice and a weapon to empower the oppressed. It also puts a check to all forms of censorship. Dictatorship takes many forms. While we dealing with dictatorship, we must continue to expose those sinking the Gambia and prepare the nation for the next level. We will continue to do the little within our reach. In real life, all we have is just to try. We do not fold our hands and expect the heaven will fall down to our knees. We all have to toil for it. The Gambia belongs to all of us and we all have equal interest in seeing Gambians being free from body and mental chains. Chris: Thanks a million. Demba would like to hang the Jallows as always. (lol). Jokes aside, we continue to have you Chris as both an educator and an inspiration on the things that matter. As we celebrate Gainako's 7th , we celebrate the many great hearts and minds like you. On jarajeff! Yero.
