The Association of Licenced Forex Bureaux (ALFOB), an umbrella body of all licenced foreign exchange bureaus in The Gambia in recognising the presence of the deadly covid-19 virus in the country, has donated sanitary materials worth D250,000 to help  the government of The Gambia in its battle to contain the spread of the deadly virus.

According to a press release, ALFOB recognises the fact that this pandemic is the concern of every individual in the country regardless of one’s status as ‘we are all vulnerable’.
