We discovered this week that there is already an NGO in Guinea (that of Nadine Bari, the writer) with the name “Guinese-Solidarity.” Not exactly the same but close enough that it was starting to cause confusion as we start to become known in Guinea. Soooo … it’s with a bit of sadness but also with the determination to keep moving that Ataoulaye and I have renamed us “Alliance Guinea” – which apparently has no existing equivalent. We would have asked for inew name deas but with the website already created, we had to make the change fast. We hope you like it; it’s cool in that “alliance” is the same in French or English – pronounce it either way you like.
Welcome to the Alliance!
And, our revised website is now up and fully operational at www.allianceguinea.org . We’re really excited about its abilty to faciliate resource sharing, and, most importantly, reach people – especially Guineans — who are not on Facebook. It is also completely bilingual.
Check it out, leave a comment – and let us know if you are interested in being a regular blogger (or member of any one of the “sub-committees” that are now forming – see the site for more info).
Nous avons du changer notre nom (Guinee-Solidarite et celui de l’ONG de Nadine Bari) – et donc sommes desormais “Alliance Guinea.” A partir de maintenant le site www.allianceguinea.org et completement operationel et bilinge. Rendez-vous-y et je vous attends pour les premiers commentaires!
