I came across this documentary by JourneyMan Film Company created for Nova Scotia Gambia Association 2009 and though it was worth sharing:

I also posted this in the Bantaba Cultural section but though the politicos here might also like this.
Enjoy

Thanks for the "clip" Aku Pickin. It is very interesting.
I find all of the people featured here very interesting, and greatly contributing to the Gambian society.
1. Sherrifo, the German Malango is doing a great job helping local boys at the carpentry workshop.
2. Mr. Chaw, the former literature student turned Imam brings Shakespeare into the mosque. I think he is very eloquent and has a social mission...
3. Matilda, the media student and camera-shy dramatist is quite impressive also.
4. Hussein, the IT manager who returned home from U.K. is also inspirational.
5. Malang Jamba, the naturalist struggling with diabetes re-lives Darwin or may be Humboldt.
6. Adele Faye Njie, the food and nutrition science teacher is not a new name in the Gambian educational institutes.
I have been a beneficiary of the Nova Scotia Gambia Association, and have worked closely with some of their participants. I recalled, Dr. Nancy Crowe ( organic (food) chemistry), the Ghanian-born Dr. Sam Asiedu (post-harvest biology), Dr. John Tate (economics), and the high school teachers, Mike McCurdy, Ms. Norland, Sean Flanagan, etc.
I was once to present a paper at one of the meetings on the status of the Gambia's environment, and I set up an interview with the the Gambia's National Environment Agency (NEA), the Deputy Director of the Forestry Department (Mr. Danso at the time), the KMC Cleansing Manager (Mr. Jaiteh) and an official in the KMC Mayor's office.
When I arrived at the NEA and the KMC Mayor's offices they would not grant my interview because they insisted that I was a journalist . Mr. Danso at the Forestry Dept. and Jaiteh, the Cleansing Manager at the KMC who I had known through Saint Augustine's High School (and taught his son) were very welcoming,however. God bless them! They answered all my questions thoroughly, and went beyond and above the call of duty...
Journalism was, I guess it is still, a true stigma in the Gambia |

How nice to see Hussein at Leybato's and Malang in Abuko! Thank you Aku pickin, for this wonderful and professionally made documentary (?). I know i will keep thinking about the impressive Mr Chaw's equasion: 40% for yourself (does that include your time in the workplace working on your career?), 30% for your family and 30% for the community. I'll have to rearrange my priorities.........
But on the whole: a very nice and positive atmosphere in this 'picture of the Gambia' (for a change). I am sure the country could do with that! |
