FIRE DISASTER VICTIMS SOLICIT FOR HELP
FOROYAA has been reliably informed by victims of a very serious fire disaster which occurred at Sare Sandi, in the Wuli East District of the Upper River Region.
The victims who are poor farmers have lost over 200 bags of groundnuts, over 1000 bundles of sorghum and a similar amount of millet. They have also lost ruminants, cooking utensils, household materials such as beds, chairs, over 3000 dalasis cash and more than five tonnes of harvested cotton wool waiting to be bought.
The families affected by the inferno are those of Mr. Demba Jawo, Muhammed Sowe, Sulay Sowe and Yaya Barry and another family, comprising five out of 7 compounds in the village.
The fire which devastated this village occurred on Tobaski day when the majority of adults had left to attend prayers at the nearby village of Bantantinti, just across the Senegalese border.
The victims are currently being assisted by the few other families depending on the meagre and already depleted poor grain harvest for the season. They are calling on institutions, NGOs and individual Samaritans for help.
If you want to help, call on 4393177or 9954533.
