The Coca-Cola manufacturing and bottling firm (Gambega Ltd) on Saturday made a presentation of gifts worth over D24,000 to The Gambia Supreme Islamic Council, in honour of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

The donated items included bags of rice, sugar and cooking oil.
Presenting the items on behalf of Gambega, Mr Saja Sambou, human resources manager, Gambega, said the majority of The Gambian people are Muslims, thus the best way to make them happy is to share with them in the Month of Ramadan.

"We are on a promotion [campaign] and we think the month of Ramadan is the best time to help the Muslim community," he said.

In receiving the items on behalf of GSIC, Oustass Momodou Lamin Touray, president of the Supreme Islamic Council, thanked Gambega for the gesture and assured them that it will be put to good use.

According to Oustass Touray, many companies in the country are engaged in national development and they are ready to work with any company that is willing to help the Muslim community.

"This may be small in your eyes but it is a big thing in the eyes of God," he concluded.
