Dear Sir,

I am a "Toubab" (or is it Twobob?) from The Netherlands. Since my first visit in 2004 Gambia has capturedmy heart. I am very sorry to see what is happening in The Gambia, the change to worse since 2004 is very visible for anybody who wants to see.

Nevertheless I try to visit your country as often as I can because the love of my wife (although she is not Gambian) lives there and I am lucky to know some good hearted Gambians and who I regard as my family.

I have registered for your website but have not received any feedback, so I still cannot log in. Please let me know what is going on!

I was very sad when I heard the terrible news on Mr. Lamin Sanneh who I worked with for some time when I came to The Gambia on behalf of my employer. A very decent man, very intelligent and a big heart for his country. I also was with him during a visit of his department to The Netherlands. We talked a lot and he was so full of desire to help his country and its people. Many people in The Netherlands who knew him were shocked when they heard the news!

Keep up the good work!
