The “BACK TO SCHOOL BACKPACKS PROGRAM” is a program organized and funded by KSDF DIASPORA 15 based in Marietta Georgia USA. In this program students are being awarded backpacks filled with school supplies for having achieved highly commendable results. The objective is to motivate students to continue performing better each academic year and also to inspire others to do the same thereby encouraging a healthy competition amongst themselves.
The Chairman Al Haji Sheiktijan S Mboob has delivered a keynote speech encouraging students to believe more in themselves and to work towards achieving their goals. He made us really proud as our Chairman, for we felt well represented. The Organization KSDF DIASPORA 15 was founded on Septemberr 17, 2015 through the initiative of Ajaratou Amie Nyang and Ramou Loum who invited quite a few of us from Kaur to form an association to support our dear home town, Kaur, in its development efforts. We are fortunate to have people such as them, whose brilliant vision has made the existence of this Organization a possibility.
Today is a day of celebration. We are celebrating our school children for their excellent performance during the academic year 2022-2023. Many of them have made this day possible, through persistence and hard work, through external and internal motivation, and through their love of education, and we commend them for it. We have a fervent hope that we will keep up with them throughout their academic journey. A special acknowledgement to the Executive Team for their support and input to make this day a success. Our sincere appreciation to Professor, Dr. Abdoulaye Saine, Chief Adviser, without whose in-depth intellect and sound advice, we would not have come this far. He is also our top donor. Our sincere gratitude to the representation fostered by our counterpart Kaur Socual Development Fund in The Gambia. Its president Alaratou Fatou Nyan and her vice president Mr. Bolong Jobarteh were not oonly poresent, but were also fully engaged with protocols and distribution of prizes. The presence of the alkalos of all the three towns of Kaur wharf Town, Touray K***a and Janneh K***a respectively, has gracefully adorned this occasion. We are grateful ro Mr Mustapha Njie, Educator/ Alkalo, for his pivotal role in drawing our focus to the educational needs of the children. Lastly but not the least we are indebted to our brave and courageous teachers for working tirelessly in molding these young minds to become fine citizens of Kaur and the whole country. We appreciate all those who, despite their busy schedules , have managed to spare their time and effort to make this day a success for KSDF DIASPORA 15
