From the said fund raising they added, they can feed over 2,000 needy Gambians without putting into consideration who is who but who is in urgent need of help.

“In this Holy Month of Ramadan, we also organised Iftar for the Muslim communities in the country to show to Gambians that we love Gambia and we don’t have boundary when it comes to offering help to humanity,” the couple expressed.
Meanwhile, they sent their personal gratitude to Dominic Mendy, their Gambian counterpart for the support he has been rendering to them and the community of Manduar and other communities within West Coast Region in general.
