Witham link leads to Gambia aid
• Giving to Gambia — Simon Wezel of Continental Thomas Boers.
A WITHAM-based freight company has donated £700 of electronic
scales to the Gambia for use in tuberculosis clinics.
And the scales have been presented to the coordinator of the TB programme in the
Gambia by Bakary Jobarteh, who studied at Witham Technology Centre where he gained computer
qualifications.
Managing director of haulage firm Continental Thomas Boers at Eastways, Witham,
Simon Wezel, says he contacted the company HQ in Holland and suggested that instead of sending out calendars this
Christmas the company should instead donate vital equipment to the Gambia.
"I am very proud of him," said Mr Wezel.
Mr Jobarteh stayed with Mr Wezel for six
months.
