Your generosity makes a difference
"I Am Ebrima (A.G.'s son) part of those lucky student you sponsored. First of all, I would like to express great appreciation on behalf of all those lucky and financially sponsored by you. It says in Chinese: No appreciation is enough for great kindness. But here, I still want to thank you for your great kindness, which has provided me with hope and courage to live a better live. Your kindness means a lot to me, as great as a mountain. The only thing I did was to study hard. Thank God I have completed my grade 12 and now am enroll in The Gambia police force. Thank you for your support and may God continue to shower His blessing on to you. Best wishes Ebrima G." ~ by email, Oct 9, 2014
