Abubakary Jawara on Saturday showed his generous side again, this time in Sanyang by donating food items to the town.
The businessman through his company, Gach Group, gave 30 bags of rice, 50 cartons of sugar, 1000 sachets of 20g milk powder and 100 sachets of 70g tomato paste. The foodstuff would be given to families that are most in need.
At a presentation event at the town’s primary school, Sanyang Alkalo revealed Mr Jawara was his town’s stand-out development partner.
“Our relationship is no longer one of friendship, it’s one of family. Even children in Sanyang identify him when he shows up but this is because of the good personal relationship he has with the council of elders, the women and the VDC.
“Abubakary came to this town with a lot of respect and humility and it’s this respect that guides the efforts he has done in order for Sanyang to earn a respectable place in the comity of towns. This has always been his preoccupation and he hasn’t hidden this from anyone.
“Whenever he’s coming to Sanyang, he comes here as if he lives here – a native. And we have seen that there cannot be a better development partner for Sanyang than Abukakary Jawara,” Jabang said.
Later on, on Saturday, Mr Jawara in a brief stop at Sanyang’s market promised to donate 1000 bags of cement to support the paving of the seaside town’s only market.
