M. Jawaneh, president of Kairo Survivor Led Crisis Society, has on behalf of
his organization, entreated all Gambians and non-Gambians living in The Gambia
to renew their confidence for peace and stability in “this most peaceful
country”.
“Let us be optimistic about convergence at a
peaceful solution and disregard unnecessary rumours that may instill fear in
the gullible minds of the beneficiaries (the electorate),” he said.
Mr Jawneh pleads to all stakeholders for the
maintenance of The Gambia’s golden but rare peace.
Spiritual
leaders and politicians should open more dialogue and speak well for peace in
order to restore the confidence of the citizenry.
Mr
Jawneh, who was speaking at his office situated at the Gambia Revenue
Authority, explained that his organization is a non-profit and voluntary
organisation formed and registered since 1 November 2016.
He
said the organization is out to give support to individuals in crisis
situations, thus creating an enhanced socio-economic environment for people
living in The Gambia.
He
added that the beneficiaries include youth and adult members of the society
regardless of sex, religious denomination, nationality, political affiliation
or cultural background.
According
to him, the approach is mainly client services through phone calls, email
correspondence, website visits and clients call in to the centre.
He
also indicated that decisions on issues pertaining to crisis are led by the
clients themselves through soft dialogue and self-reflecting discussions with
personnel at the dial house.
“The
approach is survivor-led where clients themselves are empowered in the process
of bringing solutions to their problems,” he said.
Mr
Jawneh further indicated that their key values include cherishing the
principles of honesty, integrity and confidentiality in the execution of their
duties.
He
reiterated that the organisation seizes this opportunity to salute all
peace-loving Gambians and friends of The Gambia wherever they may be with
smiles of hopes and tranquility.
The
Board Members including Dr Sidibeh, a psychiatrist and Dr Samba Faal, a former
diplomat, both urged Gambians and non-Gambians resident in The Gambia to
continue to pray for a peaceful resolution of the impasse.
“There
is room for peaceful solution to our problem,” the group reiterated.
