-




Gambia National Fundraiser for COVID-19, a humanitarian Project aimed at providing food to Gambians that are not able to get food due to the emergency lockdown measures, has continue to strengthens support to underprivileged Gambians.

The organization is formed by a group of leading Gambian fundraisers that has teamed up to raise funds both at home and abroad for the underprivileged in The Gambia.

The team vows that they will continue to serve the nation, while thanked Essa Faal for his commitment to supporting the initiative. The lead counsel of the TRRC Essa Faal stated “I will do anything for our nation.

He however donated D75, 000 and logistics support to National Fundraising team and joined the team on the ground at the crucial time to help the needy.

The organization clarified that the funds raised will be used to buy basic food items, basic hygiene items, while indicating that they will never give the donated money to any local or central governmental body

Following so many scrutiny, Amie Ding Ding Jarjue alias Mother Theresa of The Gambia, who is among the initiators stated that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, saying people imitates someone else because one admires or values what that person is doing.

“However, when an initiative is hijacked by someone else and the fundamental premise is distorted by that person for their own political ends, then this needs to be highlighted. It is a little disappointing that an attempt is being made to dilute an apolitical initiative implemented by ordinary citizens. Particularly those parties were given a direct invitation to join and support the initiative at an early stage for the benefit of the nation and needy families and individuals.”

She further highlighted that amid coronavirus is a time to unite the nation but not for division or political posturing.
