The secretary general of The Gambia Red Cross Society, Alasan Senghore, has left the national society to take up a new role at an international organisation.
Senghore, who has a wealth of experience working for the UN-backed humanitarian organisation, bid farewell to his Red Cross colleagues as outgoing secretary general at a grand ceremony held at the GRCS headquarters in Kanifing Wednesday.
He is widely hailed for demonstrating a long history of working in the philanthropy industry. He’s described by colleagues as “a skilled negotiator, a humanitarian and people manager who transformed The Gambia Red Cross into a well-functioning national society that is respected as one of the leading humanitarian entities in The Gambia”.
