Hello Sigga and Yankuba, we congratulate you both for what we believe is a very practical and farsighted project. It is a project which goes to show, that Gambians all over the world are genuinely concerned about the fate and destiny of our nation and of the well-being of our people.

This project is proof if ever one was needed, that we are ready and capable of contributing possitively to the health of both our nation and its people. You have demonstrated this concern and you have actually done something about it. That is commendable and we join with the rest of your friends and colleagues in extending felicitations. 

Once again "Jarama Yen" and keep up the great job!
