Foundation Humanitarian Aid Gambia on YouTube |
|
Images and especially movies can tell more than a 1.000 words. During the visit of the Boards of the Foundation of Belgium and England to The Gambia end of 2009 / start 2010, a lot of small movies have been made which we would be happy to share with you. For this we started populating a YouTube Channel which can be found HERE . The first movies have already been put into place. The Chairman of the local NGO interviews various local Boardmembers.

Work which would never have been possible without your support! Please sit back and.... enjoy. |
