      Hello Cynthia. I’m Gwendolyn-an African-American living in Washington state. My husband and I are seriously considering leaving Amerikkka, and moving to The Gambia. If you’re up for it, we’d like to connect with you to talk about the culture, languages, and how best to go about integrating into the community. And yes, Rick is a crack up.

    Rick you need to draw up an area plan of the land to show them where you want things planting. and land markings.
    They need more direction.

      Exactly. Needs to be more organized. People can't remember all that info and the language barrier too. Learning their language would help too.

      This is what I was going to tell Rick too. I'm a visual person and he really need a drawing plan of his visual, it may not remain the same, but people will get his vision. And hopefully soon he can get a drone camera to see the land better.

    Congrats Sweet mama and Rick for taking that giant leap of faith. Am not familiar with the Gambian building techniques but in Kenya we lay the electrical hollow tubes,plumbing PPR tubes and all other service lines before plastering the walls in order to have a clean neat finish at the end. Next time try it and you gonna like it big time.

    My future husband and I have a few things to clean up here but AS SOON as we can we are GOING BACK HOME to The Gambia at first we gave ourselves 6 months but now our goal is 3 months . We already told are families were leaving and they aren’t taking it too seriously but they will see and only then will the follow us back home. We have an appointment for our passports on Wednesday the. We’re getting our tickets and as soon as The Gambia opens and let’s us come home we are HOME so excited. We were planning to get an new apartment and new car here but all that has changed in just one week and we are saying forget American and working actively on our escape plan.

    Hey Ricky, you were asking one of the builders if one would be able to get over the wall from that room into the next. At a glance I saw two bricks (one of which seems to have a crack) placed on that wall. Those bricks are supposed to support the roof but in this case they won’t, not for long. Normally roofers use wood instead of bricks for that support. Please revisit that work.
    Keep soldiering on family. Salaam

    You are doing a fantastic job and I follow you almost every day. I am Zimbabwean and my advice is that all the African Americans coming back must expand the horizon of African countries to go to. Africa is your home and once you land there you will have a sense of belonging which is missing in the west. Africa embraces you and welcomes you with open arms. It’s time to migrate now and to those who remember in the 80s there was prophecy about this stated by a few preachers and I am glad that we are witnessing this event

    Since you guys have a borehole you should consider a self irrigation system that is automatic same system used here in the United states will safe you a lot, first build a wind turbine generator that will power high pressure water irrigation system will connect to different areas that needed daily water supply, build pipe rails sprinkler system once the water is turned on or switch it turn by turn until all watering is fully absorbed or sufficient, at this point it becomes automatic as needed daily, the high winds will continue supplying free power supply, that's my idea I don't know what you guys think

    Use magnets on a 2x4 to pick up nails. You should be able to find old speakers with magnets.
