The Imam of Ahdulaye Village in Foni Wassadou Ebrima Boye, presided over the official opening of a new mosque in their village describing the edifice as God Sent. The mosque was sponsored by Shiraz, Fariaz and Family, and implemented by Life Aid International UK, a charitable organisation based in UK at the tune of D900,000 (Nine Hundred Thousand Dalasis).

The charity also fitted the mosque with a borehole, solar, mats, loud speakers, kettles, water tank and even the logistics for the inauguration.
The Imam thanked the charity for the gesture, saying: “It is God who will pay you in abundance.”
Mam Gorr Sour, who spoke on behalf of the elders of the village, took the opportunity to advise people of Ahdulaye, to remain united and work towards the development of their community.
The Director of Life Aid International Gambia, Musa Saidy, commended members of the community for the moral support given during the construction of the mosque, which took place in a short period of time.
