American Idol in the Gambia
Today after school my girls and their cousins were thrilled to sit down at 5 pm and watch the premier of American Idol via Dubai TV carried on the Gambia satellite cable TV company. Lounging on the couch, the six of them were enjoying people making fools of themselves, singing off key and watching Simon cringe at them, when all of a sudden, the screen went blank. We had our electricity, but the satellite company that supplies the feed lost their electricity. So, until their generators went on, there was no TV, and that’s why there was no American Idol premier in the Gambia.

Thank you Homa for opening a "window" to parts of the world that is ignored or scorned. The dignity of humans mast be uphold at all costs!
I met a woman from the Near East (sic). She has a skin condition that requires periodical radiation. The hospital nurses were amazed, last Monday,when she dropt the radiation therapy and began to use a natural creame for her open skin soars.The improvements are drammatic! The creame was brought from a third world country! What are you descoveries in the field of natural medicines in Africa? Jorge
