A group of Bijilo community in the diaspora has presented dozens of face masks and buckets to Bijilo Lower Basic and Nursery Schools in The Gambia.
Representative of the group, Ousman Ndow, said he was delighted to present the items on the behalf of the donors.
‘Government alone cannot do it alone. Therefore, it should be a collective responsibility to make sure that our children enjoy quality education’, the US-based Ndow said.
‘We are not only going to provide the school with the sanitary items but by extension to renovate school on the next phase’.
Headmistress of Bijilo Lower Basic and Nursery Schools, Sainabou Sanneh, commended the donors for their foresight and dedication.
She said, ‘We are grateful and hope that this will go a long way in addressing their concerns in its drive to fight against coronavirus in our society’.
She assured the donors that the items will be used for its intended purpose and will equally make sure that every child uses the item before getting into their classrooms.
