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’.
“Therefore,
The Gambia government alone will not be able to provide all the necessary
resources to fight the virus. It is against this backdrop that ALFOB has
donated some very essential medical supplies/cleaning materials to the tune of
D250,000 (Two hundred and fifty thousand dalasis) to complement the efforts of
the government through the Ministry of Health towards this noble crusade in
fighting the covid-19 pandemic virus. We would encourage everyone to comply
with the simple guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health which is working in
tandem with WHO to reduce the spread of the virus”, the release states.
