>On Thursday the 25th November I had a day on Gambia with Vendelsö Social
>Democrat Party in Haninge Sweden. As a member of the Swedish Social
>Democrat
>Party, I took the opportunity to present my native land to my colleagues to
>see what I can do for Gambia from Sweden. It all started when I was in the
>Gambia the last time in February this year. I was in Sukuta to visit one of
>my in laws working at the Sukuta hospital. She introduced me to the staff
>of
>the hospital and I was informed of the progress the villages where embark
>on
>to build an extension of the ward to cater for more beds. The villages
>themselves had to provide D10:- from each household to be able to meet the
>cost, because money was not avail from the authorities due to constraint
>economy. The building has been started but it is just halfway and a lot of
>money is needed for its completion.
>I made an interview with the staffs, the patients admitted there and
>documented every thing with the help of a home video and camera. I promised
>them to take with me the materials to Sweden and see what could be done as
>to render some assistance .
>My party was informed briefly when I came from Gambia, and we decided to
>have a day on Gambia to present to them what I had in my briefcase. So 25th
>November was decided and everyone was pleased with the materials presented
>and the next stage is to spot a day next year when we depart for Gambia to
>see in reality what's going on there. The chairman of  (OGIS ) Mr. Papa
>Ousman Jeng was also invited and he was one of the speakers at the evening.
>So everyone is welcome to come up with any material or idea available to
>make the Swedish Social Democrat (Vendelö Section) know our country,
>especially Sukuta Village. This is just the first stage to the long journey
>awaiting us. We are going to have several studies in the future, before
>going to the Gambia, and for that matter I need as much material
>obtainable.
>A postgiro will be opened to help in collecting money for the Sukuta
>project.
