Three
Gambian children who traveled to Germany for different medical treatments, on
the funding of Project Aid The Gambia, in collaboration with Peace Village have
returned home last week.
Project
Aid is an international charitable organisation that was established in 1991,
focusing primarily on health and education in the country.
Ebrima
Senghore, Abdoulie Jallow and Jariatou Bah were happily received by their
parents, family members and staff of Project Aid at the Banjul International
Airport after spending more than six months in Germany.
Project
Aid Director, Ebrima Jobarteh said they have a partnership with Peace Village
in Germany that offers free medical treatment to children with health
complications that cannot be treated in The Gambia. He said they offer medical
assistance to children from six to eleven years.
Dr Hassan Azadeh, senior lecturer at the
University of The Gambia medical school said Peace Village in Germany comes to
The Gambia to offer medical treatments to children that have severe health
conditions. “It is open to every Gambian and the treatment is free,” he said.
He
emphasized the importance of the treatment, saying it is something that should
be encouraged.
Parents
of the children showed gratitude and appreciation for the medical treatment
offered to their children.
Modou
Lamin Senghore, one of the parents said this is the second time his son has
been to Germany, adding that he has seen improvement in his health condition.
He thanked the organisation for the help they have been offering to the children.
