LETTERS/ Senegal

Dear Chandrika,

I received your bulletin (Yemaya) on 18 September 1999 and I feel the contents are very enriching. This bulletin represents an alternative because all fishing communities from all over the world have the objective of exchanging experiences in order to improve their daily livelihood. This being very difficult to achieve because of economic constraints, I feel that your bulletin is a mean to that end. Through all the short, clear and precise articles, we can see experiences from our continent and problems that our colleagues from the North are facing.

This bulletin should not become intellectual literature but should continue on the same track, relating concrete experiences that could help to resolve problems of the others. I talked about it with Therese and Seynabou and we all think that we will make this   bulletin our umbilical cord. Thank you.
