Speaking at the presentation ceremonies, Abubacarr Darboe, YWCED spokesman, said the purpose of the donations is in line with their readiness to support the Government towards the crusade against the disease.

According to him, the association bought six water drums with sanitary items worth over D3000, while Dr. Ceesay too contributed the same amount as a citizen of the region noting that no government alone can do it all for her citizens.
