THE PROMOTION OF GROWING JATROPHA IS GOING WELL

Over the last weeks so much has happened that I don’t know where to start. The exhibition was a big success, there ware so many positive reactions that even our own ambassadors were kind of surprised about it, but also again convinced that they are putting all this energy in a good future for their country. At the exhibition we received an invitation for the 9-days Trade Fair. The EU had a table for the Jatropha project reserved, normal this would costs D 15,000, to be able to promote the growing of Jatropha in Gambia. We were so happy about this. The fair was an even bigger success. The Vice-President stopped at the Jatropha table for more then 10 minutes and this is special knowing that the other stands only had 1 minute of her time. She asked so many questions to Mr. Seedy Jarju (tel: +220.9701062) and Mr. Musa Samura (Tel: + 220.9980795 or 7331307) and she was so interested in the information that she even decided to come back after seeing some of the other stands. Radio and television interviewed our Seedy and Musa and they also promised to follow it up. At first all people are a bit reluctant. They all know the plant and they are all so surprised learning about the benefits and the possibilities it can give for the country. NGO’s are interested to support, schools are told to fence their school ground with Tabanane. Many people took seeds home for their own garden etc, etc. Mr. Seesy couldn’t stop talking and telling me how happy he was with all the positive feedback. I will post the letter with the report after the GREC exhibition and the Report after the fair here. But also we would like to thank Pierre again for bringing the information to us. Without him this would not all have happened. Thank you Pierre!!
The next step is now to have the Jatropha initiative registered as a Charity organisation so they are able to receive sponsoring for the costs for copies, travel expenses, oil press production and the devellopment of cooking stoves etc

Dear all,
Over the last months there has been a lot of activity in the promotion of growing Jatropha in Gambia. There was the exhibition at GREC and a very successful happening at the Trade Fair, including radio and television publicity. For those who came to visit the Jatropha stand: Thank you for your interest and your positive input.
In general we can say: The promotion of Jatropha in Gambia all going well thanks to the ongoing activities of the Jatropha ambassadors in the Gambia. Thank you guys! We do need however more and more people who will spread the news about Jatropha.
I can tell everyone that we receive weekly e-mails though the website from businesses all over the worlds asking for tons of liters of Jatropha oil, so the interest of the rest of the world is there. But first we have to grow the trees and we have to make sure the Gambian market will be supplied before any oil goes outside the country!
If you have any ideas or if you like any information, please don’t hesitate to contact us. If you like to stay up to date with everything that is going on with the Jatropha in Gambia, please check the blog: www.jatrophagambia.wordpress.com
Again, thank you very much for your interest and input in Jatropha in Gambia.
Kind regards,
Jatropha Fuel Gambia
