Embassy Visits Sifoe Village

August 20, 2010

PAO - Tula Orum, DCM - Cindy Gregg, Imam Momodou Kanteh, and POL/ECON - Zach Bailey

Rice, books and soccer balls were delivered to the village of Sifoe on August 20, 2010, in recognition of Ramadan.  American staff members purchased rice for distribution to outlying village imams for distribution to the neediest families.  Imam Kanteh remarked several times that this was the first U.S. Embassy visit to his village since he became the Imam many years ago.  A tour of the local school followed and the U.S. Embassy has pledged books for the teachers.
