Birmingham City FC supports ‘Goodies for Gambia’ campaign

We are delighted to have received from Birmingham City Football Club a great selection of football strips and sports gear, courtesy of Mr. Westley, the Academy Director.



Knowing how much the Gambians love their football, these ‘goodies’ will be well received, and given that Premier League football shirts are like the proverbial gold-dust in the Gambia, no doubt Kira will be swamped when she hands them out later on this year!



Well done the Blues.

Trust Director meets His Excellency, President Jammeh of The Gambia

Picture

Kira Dalton recently had the honour and privelege of being invited to an audience with President Jammeh during his ‘Meet the People Tour of the Nation’.



This was in no doubt due to  the excellent effort that Kira has provided in relation to the opening of the Jappineh Clinic.



Kira took the opportunity to explain to his Excellency all the features of the clinic, but also stressed that we still badly needed the help of an additional midwife, as well as the government’s support in the anti-malaria campaign.



His Excellency took Kira’s counsel on board and within a matter of a few days the additional resources duly arrived – well done Kira, and of course His Excellency.
