donated sanitary materials to security institutions in the Central River Region
(CRR).

donated materials include 10 buckets with the required sanitary materials and
packets of soap among others.
The

well as to help maintaining hygiene. The items were handed to beneficiaries at
a handing over ceremony held at the Governor’s office in CRR.

Dahaba, executive director for National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA)
commended the benefactors for the gesture.
The
donation, he added, would significantly contribute in the fight against
Covid-19 in the country, saying it would help in preventing further spread of the
disease in the area.
However,
he expressed appreciation to JTGA and its partners for the move.
Sheriff

grateful to the tour guard association,” he said.
Governor
Sanyang said demonstrating such a generosity is the only mechanism and strategy
that Gambians can make to attain the Sustainable Development Goals.
“If
we all come together as one people, one heart and one goal, definitely this
country will succeed,” he told the gathering.
He
thus called on Gambians to unite and embrace partnership in order to accomplish
their set target goals in development.

security institutions across the region.
