Councillor Jallow said the donation aims to support the teams\u2019 preparations for the football season.<\/p>\n<p>The beneficiary teams are Dreamers FC of Jalambang, Jaliba United, Diamond Boys, Scovil FC, Puntalana FC, Jambar Sanneh FC, and Nema United. Each team received a set of jerseys, markers, bibs, five footballs, and a ball pump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are doing this to help address some of the challenges our teams face,\u201d Councillor Jallow stated. \u201cMany of them lack the financial strength to meet their basic needs. Some teams have gone years without proper jerseys. To help close these gaps, we decided to give back to the youth, using resources allocated through the Brikama Area Council. We are not taking personal credit for this\u2014it is made possible through the taxes our mothers and community members pay daily. That\u2019s why I urge everyone to become advocates for the council by encouraging tax compliance. Without taxes, the council cannot achieve its development goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brikama Area Council Chairman, Yankuba Darboe, praised Councillor Jallow\u2019s initiative, highlighting its importance in youth development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo often, the significance of this kind of support for young people is overlooked,\u201d Darboe said. \u201cBut it\u2019s extremely important. Many young players in our local leagues aspire to become professionals. They need support to pursue those dreams, and this donation is a meaningful step in that direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
