The
Parish of Sunning Hill and All Souls South Ascot – England, in collaboration
with Yabouy Home Cooking, Tuesday donated cash and materials to Sanyang Women
Kafo and conducted a visit to their farm rice. The presentation was held at the
Sanyang community Bantaba, in Kombo South.
Since
their first visit in 2014, members of the Parish of Sunning Hill and All Souls
South Ascot have been providing assistance to churches, schools and community
women in The Gambia. Rev JC Faye School in Banjul, St. John’s School in
Serekunda, churches and women groups have benefitted from their revolving fund
and materials.
Shelia
Brown commented on the relationship between The Parish of Sunning Hill and All
Souls South Ascot and Yabouy Charity, describing it as “a good and special
relationship.”
She
expressed their satisfaction with the development that is happening at the
different schools, churches, and community women groups they are supporting,
through Yabouy Charity. “The
satisfaction they derived from the relationship keeps them coming because we have
seen how they made use of the assistance and equipment we gave them,” she said.
According
to Brown, their members enjoy being in The Gambia to support their
beneficiaries, saying that is the main reason they always raise money and
equipment to support them.

things.
