The initiative was coordinated through Star Up Foundation, led by president Sonja Arup widely known in The Gambia as Sona Mariama.

President of Star Up Foundation, Sonja Arup, extended gratitude to Foundation Port of Las Palmas and her team in Canary Islands for their support.
Arup noted that the collaboration demonstrates how compassion and unity can inspire young people and strengthen ties between communities.

We would continue to build bridges that transform lives,” Star Up Foundation president said.
The latest donation to Gilkock Football Academy Brufut Branch marked another step in Star Up Foundation's efforts to empower youth in Brufut through sports and community engagements.
