 ABENE VILLAGE SENEGAL

PA system needed for the local Mosque

 I regularly visit West Africa, in particular a very small village on the coast of Senegal called Abene.
Abene is predominantly a Muslim community. During my visit this year 2008 I was asked by village elders to meet the chief of the village & take part in the Al Hijra celebration.

I took this opertunity to hand over a large amount of mobile phones to help the villagers in their efforts to improve their communication to other areas of Senegal etc.

During this meeting I was asked specifically if I could help repair the Mosque’s PA system in order that the Mosque can call the village to prayer.
The old system ran on an old generator however, mains power has just reached the edge of the village and up to the Mosque.
So, I would like to ask you for your help. Would your drum group you you personally be able to help support me by donating a small amount of money in order to purchase a new amplifier, speaker and microphone for the Mosque PA system?

I would be very happy to provide more information, I can give you links to google maps etc. Also telephone numbers in Senegal in order that I can prove my legitimacy and guarantee the money goes in total and direct to the Mosque.

So if you would like to donate say twenty pounds towards the PA system contact me for details how to donate.

Thank you very much.
