JFP warms up for gala

The authorities at the Jammeh Foundation for Peace, an independent, non-political and charitable organisation, are bracing up for what is set to be a grand get-together, a gala dinner and show dubbed Family Fun Day.

This news was contained in a press release sent to the Daily Observer by the executive board of the Foundation.
With its principal goal being to effect substantial improvement in the quality of the lives of all communities in The Gambia by providing support in the sectors of education, agriculture, health, women and youth enterprise development, JFP, despite its immense achievements and commitments, is cognizant of the significance of the support of these communities in accomplishing its mission. That is what warranted this special Gala Dinner and Show, slated for 4th and 5th October, 2008. While the show is set for Kairaba Beach Hotel, the Family Fun Day will be held at the Dream Park.

According to the press release, the executive of the Foundation recognises the immense contribution of its chief patron, His Excellency Alhaji Dr Yahya AJJ Jammeh, noting that it was obvious that he cannot do it all alone, and that the support of companies, government, parastatals, businesses, individuals and all other communities in The Gambia, will be highly instrumental in their success.

The release concluded by saying that as a social responsibility and moral duty for all to care for and share with the less fortunate, such fundraising events are very worthwhile "for the development of our future leaders."
