Ndey,

I am in a state of shock.
Please let us know whether Satang was ill because i never heard about her
being ill.
My heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and extended family of Satang
Jobarteh. May Allah (SWT) grant her a place in Firdausal Jannah.
This is a big loss to all those kids whom Satang worked so hard to uplift and
indeed, a deep ad sad loss for Gambia.
