The gesture came following the youth organisation’s request for financial support from the international company to launch a poetry slam project. The youth organization budgeted fifty thousand dalasis (D50,000) for the project but VT International provided half of the budget.

Bah said his company is greatly delighted to provide Inspiring Young Star of The Gambia with the financial support to implement the project.
