Gambia donated school and learning materials to three schools on Monday 14
March 2017.
Action
Gambia is an NGO based in Norway that works with different projects in The
Gambia to help in the improvement of the schools in the country.
Among
these projects is the renovating of school facilities and replacing school
facilities with vital working equipment such as printers, PCs, clothing,
laptops and furniture.
Action
Gambia aims to assist various projects and relevant organisations in The
Gambia.
The
beneficiary schools included Bakau New-Town, Muhammedan Lower Basic School and
Bansang Lower Basic School.
Yafatou
Mbye Jaba, deputy head-teacher of Muhammedan Lower Basic School and the
headmistress of Bakau Newtown, both expressed their gratitude to Action Gambia
for coming to their aid, saying it was timely.
‘’They
have been helping us for many years; helping us in our renovation of our
toilets for both the students and staff. This has been going on for years,’’
they said.
Abdoulie
Jagne and Samba Njie, members of Action Gambia, said they have always felt the
need to support their country in any way they can.
Momodou
Jobarteh, pioneering member of Action Gambia, said it was duty bound on them as
good citizens to come back and help in the building of their country, saying
this was a token of all their appreciation to the country that made them who
they are today.
‘’We
have been helping these schools for the past years. This year, we brought
chairs, computers, tables, books and pencils,” Mr Jobarteh said.
Action
Gambia has been actively participating in charitable work, and helping projects
aimed at nation-building.
Last
year, Action Gambia was in the country to help schools and cooperated with
communities such the Banjul City Council to help in projects to fight against
malaria in the capital city.
