Here is the  link to  the latest edition of The Outerglobe where I  interviewed NYC based global activist and musician Drea Pizziconi about her music, aims and CAMFED - Campaign for Female Education -  and why girls. I  promised you  details as  to how to  get hold of Drea Pizziconi's superb single 'Let Us Dance' and give links to the CAMFED site as well. You are in luck! Here is Drea's website and here is the iTunes link for now   You can also find it on other  platforms via  Drea's site. AND the link for CAMFED is here  Donating is  simple and the site very self explanatory and transparent.

In this UP!!D8:

Malick Education Fund Gambia, RADIO  - The Outerglobe, DJWISE - Sisters of Reggae,  Ella the Great and Ella the Greats Mini Circus, AND Taxi Pata Pata ... UP!!

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I am currently putting forward a funding request for donations to help my friend MALICK JAGNE complete his degree course in Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of the Gambia . He had to abandon his studies as the fees became impossible to reach because the owner of the taxi he was driving took it off him as he did not believe that Malick was declaring his earnings fully - which was emphatically not the case.I met Malick when he was a driver for the Mboka Festival (in 2018) and found him to be a very thoughtful and solid person. "I love this course = the feelings of interactions, the motion to help as well as to establish coexistence and a lasting peace in the community, society, the country and the globe as well" he said. Here is the link to the fundraiser
