Today, I finally have the English version of our Webs can be places on the Internet, so that we now for the English- speaking visitors will understand. It is likely that some people smile when they English read this ......
I must admit, I have the Google translate two Nights used extensively and am of the opinion that the Google provides better translations than the Langenscheidt-text translator. But I think better so than no English translation.
And after me some people have promised to translate the Web and no one has yet really taken the trouble to I thought to myself that I must do that yourself. But before someone to complain about this translation starts, he had better deliver a better one. I would then immediately make an exchange.
From Vienna, a woman reported that there through Cooking is trying to raise donations for The Gambia. It has We offered to us in their call for donations too. APPLIES This action can I find very interesting and could certainly be carried out by us here at the association to larger audiences.

29.08.09 
Now it's really done, as you have probably noticed. Excuse me, the ups and downs in recent days. It was pretty exhausting, but now the web is the way I imagined it did and now I can turn to the next task. Now I will take care of it, is well known that our club, bordering on the Internet also, in real life. And our Ebay shop, we should now turn correctly by a permanent set of different things. Maybe there's someone among you, who is familiar with Ebay and may even be better to give me good tips?

16.08.09 
Finally it's done. The Web is now W3C validated without error, on all sides. Now I hope that this work brings success, and the search engines reward it. I certainly hope that you now your way around even better with the new navigation. A feedback from you would be delighted.

25.07.09 
With the help of some nice people I could learn about the chat, I have the optimization work is now completed soon.

23.07.09 
I am now trying to optimize the web for search engines, but this is easier said than done. But in between I also write e-mails to newspapers and try to through articles about our work, to publicize the club to. Also do I send emails to contacts in order to find out about us, which can each of you do. It will help bring the name into the consciousness of people. ...... In this sense  LET's GO.

10.07.09 
After I have our web, now offers a new outfit, I have begun to seek new donors and sponsors.As our President, Dr. Horst Köhler has demonstrated a heart for Africa, I wrote the following letter to him. I would also ask members to endeavor to promote donors, sponsors and members in their environment. But You know yourself. Here is the letter to Horst Köhler:

Dear Dr. Kohler 

3 years now since I started managing the Vocational Training Association in the Gambia than 1 eV
 Chairman and pursue very interested in your speeches on the situation in Africa. 
Their testimony, as to the educational situation in Africa, I can only confirm that I myself have lived almost 3 years in the Gambia, before I had to return to Germany for medical reasons.
 
I was co-owner of a small boatyard and got to feel pretty much the lack of training.
 Again and again talked with us about Jungendliche start work before and during the time it was found that had actually added any of these young people an education. 
By this fact the idea of building a vocational school, which has set itself the goal of giving young people by helping people to help themselves develop the skills necessary for a better future in Gambia.
 
Now, it is nowadays very difficult to obtain in our country the necessary support for a project of this kind.
 Solely by donations and membership fees, not even through the tax exemption by, any such assistance projects a reality. 
Statements in your speeches have motivated me to ask for help, as will the fate of Africa much at heart.
 
I hereby ask you to tell us in which state institution, there are ways to get financial support for such a development project.
 Of course, you are cordially invited to support our project financially by a generous donation. 
We are looking for sponsors and members who can support our club and continue.
 
As Chairman, I turned to the established parties, but unfortunately only received rejections or more instructions which are basically running in the sand.
 
Since we have the educational situation in the Gambia also very close to our hearts, we would ask for your help, in any form whatsoever.
 
They have identified other contacts that we can be helpful.
 

Please help, we continue our support for young people in Gambia, and better able to expand.
 

Sincerely.
 
J. Wilkens

Today, the account at PayPal has been confirmed and the donation button on our website is now active. 
Our Treasurer has today submitted his resignation in writing. Thus, we now need to elect a new treasurer. 
Our association's account on eBay is now also activated activated and the first test article (3 thriller) are already listed for sale. We certainly hope that in addition to flow through this account revenue for our project in the treasury.

In this sense ...... LET's Go ......

07.07.09 
The Association has welcomed by e-mail, a new member, which is taken as soon as the annual fee has been received and the applicant will not be contradicted. 
The first steps to verify the account by PayPal are done. PayPal has obtained the official club records and get them even today.

06.07.09 
A member has announced his resignation by email. The written form is filed later. 
I signed for the club a sales account at E-Bay and wait for verification. With PayPal, I have also registered an account and included in the web a donation button that becomes visible once the account is activated.

04.07.09 

WE DID IT! 

The Notice of Exemption of the Internal Revenue Ansbach for the years 2006-2008 has been taken. Now even the last skeptics must be clear that we are NOT a "false association" and our work can continue to exercise, as we have done over the past 3 years now, only the we can also be proof of our charitable status, do what skeptics may perhaps be relevant to support us through donations in kind or financial donations, too.

02.07.09 
And like the frequently is all relative ...... my feelings with which I have to live, but that is a matter of myself. Why do I say! Now, remember to mind that I'm only human, but if I get told that I denounce, then I must ask before, whether it does not come from someone else? Just because I speak I can not watch it with, if entitled, a member of the public in the association as a "pseudo-association '? Then I ask myself even more, if not denounced this member of the association in public! And because this is a society that considers transparency in its charter as an important part of the club's work, I feel obliged to publicly display such behavior. I hope that this can be understood and BIIT about the "one" is perhaps better first thought was "man" gives the public on its own, even if the emotions boil. And while I would not personally contacted, I can only assume that has not existed a real interest in the association and its goals, but rather existed purely personal motivation. But it was always the case, the misconduct is first sought help others. :-) In this sense .......

01.07.09 
After a long time we did it now, our web modernize "while renewing http://www.fbig.org the website too. Our .org web will then be extended to provide English-language page, if they then find someone who does not "only promises" to translate our website, but to translate it into action know. :-)

We hope it now goes slowly up again.

11.06.09 
Today I have as 1 Chairman of the sad duty to inform you that I will exhibit the absence of general interest to the association aims to initiate a request Vereinsliquidierungsverfahren. I hereby urge all members to consider specifically whether they wish to continue to follow with so little interest in the club work, or better yet officially submit their resignation in writing to me.

I'm disappointed, not in a position to continue to bear your indifference, because it makes me sick. Promises are not kept spoken and I feel humiliated and abandoned. Most of the work I've been 3 years now but have to perform, since no one has explained really willing to actively participate. And finally, I must now also do not like the club is publicly designated by a member as "pseudo-association", which itself is not the least put on the legs. That gave me the rest and has contributed significantly to this decision. And I agree with that member can not be assumed that it logs off officially and in writing to the Board as a member, I will take due to an incompatible behavior, and injury to Vereinsansehens that exclusion proceedings against that member. 
All the members of their contributions so far not to have or not paid in full, are also involved in the process of elimination, if the contributions are not in the next 2-3 weeks, but no later than up to the club meeting on 4 July are paid.

So that the whole is also protected, I will send to the next club meeting to all members enrolled in an official report in which everyone is invited to visit the official club meeting of 2009, the date is then given explicitly aware of the agenda: Resolution of the Association FBiG eV , of course, the counterclaim may be made to keep the club still alive, but then advise would be specifically about how this is to happen, because the current state of the association is no longer sustainable. 
Each club member should be clear about why he joined the club and also available, otherwise the whole makes little sense. Find only talk about why you can not attend meetings, or why there's no time to brace for a few hours a month for the club and its goals can not simply be the sense of a public utility. 
Formal hearing in this sense, see you soon, you will from me. I wish everyone a good time.

01.06.09 
Today I was informed by Wolfgang on the invitation arrived to the club meeting, sent to Selma, has not with him. I wish you hereby ask you to sign if you have not received the invitation. And here again the security text:

Greeting 
Selma

09.05.09 
There are also some new links look. 
Schaut euch doch mal at the weather map of Africa. :-) As you get really wanderlust. 
And for those who are the mighty English and would like to inform you about the day's events in The Gambia: http://allafrica.com/gambia/ 

Now, a preliminary version of the annual report is 2006 to 2008 found. 

On advise from Sabine, who reported to me as a volunteer assistant, I have removed the donation request from our home page as a separate and newly fitted. Sabine wants to professionally revise our concept, because it has several years experience in association work behind him. 
Regina has offered to translate into English for us the web, so we will soon be able to offer an English version for the international presence. Of course, I also hope these two can win for our members list.

29.04.09

Florian (2.-chairman) is once again in Germany and we will try, throughout his stay at an ordinary general meeting beraumen. To large attendance is requested, otherwise decisions may be taken, which may not all agree. It is therefore in your own interest to participate in the meeting.

8.8.06 
Florian has built its windows and doors, ordered the glass and already bought the silicone and hopes that he can buy his ticket for next week. The young people in Essau are delighted that we want to build a school and it has been offered a plot of land with buildings.

24.7.06 
Only some time to Florian from The Gambia to Germany and is still not all accessions have arrived at me! 
I understand that we have very nice weather and the gravel pit a more agreeable place than the PC or the desktop, but let us carry out the registration and to your candidate statements and ballots are required!

Please fill out these forms but before it carries out the next time a more pleasant jobs. 
I thank you!

17.7.06 
Today I have again spoken with Florian. The roof on the new building is now nearly finished and that means that he is coming soon to Germany. In the era of African states in the next three weeks.

By Astrid and Soum, now is also the promise that they will join the club. 
Send in the hope that soon all of their candidate statements, I would like you to tell just yet, which we saw before the founding meeting was not allowed to call association. Today I had a conversation with a lawyer.

So folks, let's at least get the application behind us so we can start the activities.

5.7.06 
Germany is out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(

Yesterday I've spoken on 4.7.06 with Florian and he told me that if the club is based here in Germany, he can start in The Gambia an NGO (Non Government Organization) and the NGO may be a site for the State Gambian apply the school's free.

It's like the NGO's getting pretty much everything they need, because if the organization no longer exists, everything falls to the state. Such is, but if we are persistent enough, we have indefinite control over our project. But no one forces us to apply for a plot of land and we should ask ourselves whether we want to do it. The land on which the shipyard is created, is great "2 acres" and belong to us. We'll talk about it if Florian is coming to Germany. And if need be, we still have a fallback option which is also 2ha in size. We will see how we do it.
