Dear editor and staff of The Gambia Echo,

I am delighted to once again observe with you another anniversary.

Your work is hard, your load heavy.

Your disposition is benevolent

Your resources limited.

With unending zeal and honour

You trod on. The road less travelled.

We meet again to appreciate the experiences of your hard and long journey

For new energy and sustenance for the creeks and ravines that will greet you

Along the way.

The allure of freshivating undercurrents and other life

Enticement for newer exploration

Or life's new opportunities.

I look forward to many more years with The Gambia Echo.

You have and continue to enrich my own life and my friends' too.

Thank you Mr. Sankareh and your exquisite staff.

Sincerely,

Haruna Darboe,

Global Democracy Project, Atlanta, GA.
