According to Mr Darboe, he believes in sharing and caring in helping humanity, especially during Ramadan.

“We should show solidarity, love and care for one another. I will continue to help humanity and share with the needy on the small resources available,”Mr Darboe said.

Many beneficiaries, who spoke to this reporter, expressed joy and appreciation for Mr Darboe’s support to humanity during Ramadan, and also during Tobaski.

They described Mr Darboe as a Gambian who has a good heart for humanity, adding that the Almighty Allah would reward him and his family for his deeds.

“We will continue to pray form him for long life and good health,” one Ousman Jallow, a beneficiary said.

Mr Jallow also stated that if Gambia could have more of the kind of persons like Mr Darboe, then the burden on the needy people would be reduced in the society.
