FONI BONDALI DISTRICT
WEST COAST REGION
The Committee would like to take this rare opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of the just concluded Foni Bondali District Youth Convergence. It was indeed a remarkable and historic gathering that has set a strong foundation for youth engagement and development within the district.
The Committee can proudly state that the success rate of the program was exceptional almost impossible to be achieved by first-time organizers. This milestone would not have been possible without the unwavering support, commitment, and collaboration of district stakeholders, the youths, and the District Youth Committee (DYC).
Special appreciation goes to the District Chief, OMAR COLLEY, Hon. Pa Dembo Sanneh (NAM Foni Bondali Constituency), Abdoulie Badjie (Ward Councillor for Bantanjang Ward), Mariama Krubally (Ward Councillor for Mayork Ward), Dr. Demba Sabally (Minister for Agriculture), Ebrima Jallow (NYP Foni Bondali), all Alkalos of Foni Bondali villages, and the dedicated thematic area facilitators, whose contributions played a vital role in making this convergence a success.
The importance of this five day gathering cannot be overstated. It served as a powerful platform that brought together youths and key stakeholders under one umbrella to engage in meaningful dialogue on issues affecting young people in the district. It created an avenue for sharing ideas, identifying challenges, and collectively proposing practical solutions that will drive development and empowerment.
Furthermore, the convergence provided an opportunity to equip young people with valuable knowledge and skills in areas such as leadership, entrepreneurship, peacebuilding, and community development. It also strengthened unity among youths, encouraged active participation in governance, and fostered stronger relationships between the youth and decision makers.
Looking at the purpose and outcomes of the convergence, I can confidently say it was a total success. It has not only inspired hope but also laid the groundwork for a more empowered, informed, and united youth population in Foni Bondali.
Once again, thank you all for your immense support and dedication. Together, we continue to build a better and brighter future for our district.
