Two philanthropists, Roger and Cheryl Ling, donated Salikenni Basic School and Health Centre to the people of Salikenni in the last few years. Recently they have been joined by two friends, Kelly and her mother Susan, who also wish to donate to the village.

These philanthropists last visited the village in November. It was the 6th occasion they had done so.

On their arrival they received a warm welcome from the students and their teachers and also from the Council of Elders.

The Chairperson, Mr. Sankung Daffeh, gave the welcoming remarks and further thanked the donors and their partners in the UK for their tremendous efforts in helping the village.

For her part, Mrs. Cheryl Ling delivered a medical package worth D10,000 and also a wheelbarrow, spade, rake and gloves to the nurse in charge.

The chief of the village, Mr. Alhagie Sainey Kanteh prayed for the donors and thanked them for coming to Salikenni with such a kind gesture.
