PRESS RELEASE: YJAG fundraising dancehall show with DJ Pisces successful
The fundraising musical show of the Young Journalists Association
of The Gambia (YJAG) with DJ Pisces on 27 April at Romana in Bakau was a
successful one.
The people of Bakau and the environs came en-mass to patronize and
support the young media practitioners.
Nyima Jadama, the public relations officer of the association, thanked
all those who came out to patronise the association in its quest to raise fund
to be able to implement some of its impending programmes.
Ms Jadama also thanked DJ Pisces and his One Force Alliance for
helping the young journalists to raise fund.
“We cannot thank him enough for his generosity for accepting to play for
the association almost on gratis,” she said.
The fundraising was meant to gather more funds
for the association to embark on more capacity building programmes for its
members, the young journalists, for them to become
responsible journalists in order to contribute meaningfully to national development.
Proceeds from the programme will also be used to implement a
line-up of activities which the association is to hold but could not due to the
perennial problem of lack of fund.
YJAG is an independent non-profit making organization and it is
legally registered with the Attorney General’s Chamber in September 2007.
YJAG has members from both the print and electronic media houses
nationwide. The objectives of the
association include promoting unity among young journalists in The Gambia,
providing capacity building, and addressing the welfare of its members.
