Tuesday was a busy day. Ruth visited the Royal Victoria Hospital in Banjul with Gibril Faal to see Dr Jammeh. She gave training to some of the Doctors and Nurses on Diabetes awareness and treatment.
The rest of the group were invited to visit the Lord Mayor of the local council. We were welcomed by Mr Sanyang the Chief Executive Officer of the Council. He personally showed us around various offices and departments at the council centre. We met the Chief of Police, Head of Finance, Head of IT and several other officials. We were even allowed in to the local court house. A number of the employees and officials mentioned that they where previous members of the President's International Award and had attended the skills centre which was good to hear. Several offered their help for the future. At the end of the visit Ann gave a small speech recounting some of the history of the links with the PIA and thanked the CEO for his time. Ros also spoke and thanked the CEO on behalf of all the current visitors and original Duke of Edinburgh / Presidents award project members. The Mayor was away on official business for the day but Mr Sanyang made us very welcome and thank you to him and his staff for their time in showing us around. Shona was official photographer for the visit.

In the afternoon it was back to work at the skills centre. Neil, Mark, Emma and a couple of the field offices (but really mostly Neil!) painted the main reception area of the skills centre. When finished it was a big improvement.
