Project Manager, Ebrima Trawally, visits Northern Ireland with Children in CrossfireI had a very warm reception during my recent visit to the Children in Crossfire and Royal National Institute of the Blind offices in Derry/Londonderry and Belfast respectively. Though short, it was a fulfilling trip and I enjoyed it. During the first week, I had the opportunity to visit wonderful Children in Crossfire supporters in various parts of the country. I visited schools, corporate bodies, businessmen, churches, media houses and volunteers. I also met a group of priests as well as the hard working Children in Crossfire staff. I was happy to meet all these supporters to talk about what The Gambia Organization of the Visually Impaired (GOVI) does with the support of Children in Crossfire. But more importantly I was able to explain how their hard-earned money is used to integrate visually impaired children into mainstream education in The Gambia. I vividly remember some of the interesting questions school children asked and how generous they have been in Children in Crossfire's fundraising drive. Anytime I got up to make a presentation about our work, everyone listened with keen interest. They were really touched by the situation of blind and partially sighted children in my country but again also delighted to know the opportunities made available to these children through their contribution. I must say quite apart from the cold weather, it was really a brilliant experience. One I will ever remember. My sincere regards to everyone as you get busy for the upcoming Advent Appeal. I wish you all in advance a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you.
