Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In March of 2020, China Road and Bridge Corporation provided free services to the Gambia College Annex in Basse, Upper River Region of Gambia. Constructors cleared the venue for the inauguration of the college as student admissions began. The specifics of the construction work and the monetary value of this assistance are unknown. According to the head of the College, Haddy Fofana, the venue needed clearing and they did not have the means to do so. The College contacted the governor of the region, Fanta B.S Manneh, for assistance. The governor then contacted the China Road and Bridge Corporation and they cleared the area for free.
