What a surprise, an invitation to The Republic of The Gambia, West Africa! It was extended from President Yahya Abdulaziz Jemus Junkung Jemmah, himself. I was the only female among our USA group from FSJ and Associates.
We were asked to assist President Yahya in the production of their February Independence Day celebrations, develop an international recording studio, and create an entertainment educational course for the university students in Banjul. Additionally, Vice President Isatul Njie-Saide requested us to aid in the Gambian Women's Empowerment program.
Being a motivational speaker and dedicated charity advocate, I was elated! After intense preparation and numerous shots, I was off on my long journey. A day and a half later, I was exhausted when I arrived in Banjul, still gagging from the stench of the sheepherders and the pesticide fumigation in Dakar, Senegal.
