Regional governors across the country on Thursday jointly donated D12,500 to the Jammeh Foundation for Peace at a presentation ceremony held at the Bungalow Beach Hotel in Fajara.

Omar Khan, governor of Upper River Region, handed over the said sum, on behalf of his colleagues, to Ardy Sarge, a board member of the JFP.

Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, governor Khan commended the Foundation for their immense contribution towards national development, "especially in the health and education sectors," where most of their  funds are duly invested.  

Ardy Sarge, in receiving the money on behalf of JFP, expressed gratitude to the governors and to all persons and institutions who have been giving help to the Foundation in support of their cause, which, he said, is meant for the benefit and welfare
of all Gambians, especially the young and the sick.

For his part, Ansumana Jammeh, JFP's CEO, thanked and congratulated the governors for a gesture that is very commendable and
timely considering the plans and projects JFP had stipulated for this year.  He further highlighted the Foundation's commitment to serving the interest of the young who are the future leaders.

According to CEO Jammeh, the Foundation is not for President Jammeh but for the Gambian people. So every one ought to play their quota in seeing that it becomes extra productive and benefiting for the whole of The Gambia.
