The goods were handed over at a presentation ceremony held at the Gambia Scout Association head office in Bakoteh.

Speaking at the ceremony, Ms Aja Kassa Kanteh-Sanneh, President of The Gambia Scout Association, said she was pleased to witness the donation, adding: "This is not the first of its kind to receive such a donation."
