Pageant news 13 October 2010
Pageant's latest container arrived in Banjul
in late September, and was unloaded on 6 October by a team led by
our main agent Wandifa Saidykhan. The contents were then
distributed to schools in various parts of The Gambia. Yankuba Ceesay is
another Pageant agent with special
responsibility for the upcountry regions on the South Bank around Jarreng.
Yankuba took charge of the consignment for
Jarreng, with the help of Pageant's wonderful driver Abdoulie
Gibba.
Jarreng is a six hour journey from Banjul along appalling roads, so
they did very well to get the stuff there so quickly.
Yankuba has
sent us this message, which we think we should share with you all.
A message from Yankuba
"I just want to show my appreciation to you for your usual support
to me and
the rest of the people in the Gambia. I really appreciate the things
you
have sent for me because they are all very important to me in one
way or the
other, and I believe that those who bring sunshine into the lives of
the
others cannot keep it from themselves and the soul that perpetually
overflows with kindness and sympathy will always be cheerful. You
always
make me feel happy, and when I feel so happy I jump to touch the sky
and am
always like an old soul living in a new body and you are the sun
that light
up the world for me, so you shall always remain in my heart for the
rest of
my life.
I will like to inform you that the things you have send for Jarreng
Skill
Centre are already in Jarreng and they have called me to show their
appreciation for the things you have send for them and they are very
grateful to you and all the members of PAGEANT. For your timely
support to
the people of Jarreng and the entire surrounding villages who are
also going
to benefit from the valuable things you have send to them. And I
personally
believe that these things you send for Jarreng will go a long way in
the
development of the community. And thanks for the other stuffs you
have send
for Jarreng people, I am sure they will be very pleased to have
received the
clothes and the other things as well.
Once again I am happy to tell you that, I was very happy to take
part in the
unloading of the container, I can say now I have some experience in
the
unloading process. So it was easy for me to carry out with the
process and
with the help of Abdoulie as well, he has contributed a lot during
the
unloading of the container and because of this the unloading process
was
done within a short period of time. Besides, other people too who as
well
attended the unloading have also do very well in the process."
