More than 200 youths in Brikama recently embarked on a cleansing exercise at the Brikama market and highway.<\/p>\n
Muhammed Darboe, CEO of 3 pleB, the organisers of the exercise, said as natives, they felt the need to embark on such exercises to keep their town clean and tidy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs youths we have to engage in things like this to help our communities.<\/p>\n
We cannot depend on the government to do everything. As an organisation, this is our first time engaging in such activities.<\/p>\n
We are hoping to do more of the same in future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Saying that a clean environment is a healthy environment, Darboe added: \u201cOur aim is to go beyond cleaning the streets of Brikama. We want to contribute our quota in national development as youths of the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Darboe also talked briefly about the organisation\u2019s plans for the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have plans to visit hospitals and orphanages.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kalilu Mbye, secretary general of the movement, said the organisation seeks to unite the youths of Brikama to interact and socialise amongst themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also believe that for people to live a healthy life, they must live in a clean environment.<\/p>\n
This is why we conducted this cleansing exercise,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Bakary Cham, public relations officer of 3 pleB, said during the rainy season the market is filled with dirt which is not healthy.<\/p>\n
Speakers Sajor Joof and Alagie Jabbie both praised 3 pleB for the foresight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
