*New Gambia Movement launches Feed the Family Project*

The New Gambia Movement is pleased to announce that we have launched
a “Feed the Family Project” to support needy members of the Gambian family
nation at home. At its meeting of Sunday, February 5, the Movement’s
leadership team took the initiative to contribute whatever they could and
send these monies to our National Organizing Secretary Pierre Gomez and our
Director of Communications and Media Relations Badou Gaye in Banjul for
disbursement to needy individuals and charitable organizations on the
ground. As of today, Saturday February 18, 2017, the leadership team has
collected and sent to Banjul D24, 600.77 which will be disbursed to needy
individuals and charity organizations in The Gambia in the coming days and
weeks.

The Feed the Family Project is an ongoing endeavor to which all members are
invited and encouraged to contribute whatever they can over time. The New
Gambia Movement feels that while our primary mission is to spread political
enlightenment and facilitate our people's civic empowerment, we should also
chip in once in a while to help the most needy members of the Gambian
Family Nation. Hence we anticipate the growth of a permanent Feed the
Family Fund to which members can contribute once in a while to assist needy
members of our Gambian Family Nation from now on. The Movement will keep
the general public posted on funds collected and disbursements made going
forward. Our plans also include launching a permanent national emergency
fund to assist victims of both man-made and natural disasters across the
country.

In a related development, additional offices have been identified and
responsibilities assumed by members of the leadership team. The Movement’s
executive committee is therefore currently composed of the following
offices and office holders:

President: Dr. Baba Galleh Jallow

Vice President: Dr. Omar Janneh

Administrative Secretary: Ms. Adama Jabang

National Organizing Secretary: Dr. Pierre Gomez

Director of Communications and Media Relations: Mr. Badou Gaye

Director of Charitable Projects: Dr. Atta Ceesay

Co-Director of Charitable Projects: Ms. Aisha Ceesay

Co-Director of Charitable Projects: Dr. Amina Sillah

Treasurer: Dr. Bakary J. Sonko



Other members of the executive are: Abdou Rahman Jallow, Ndey Tapha Sosseh,
Dr. Bala Saho, and Isha Savage. The leadership team is working to identify
additional offices and office holders and will keep everyone posted going
forward. If you are interested in learning more about the Movement or
