Hello. Does anyone have a copy of an official Spinster/Bachelor Certificate they can post (names redacted of course). I have a sister-in-law who I believe fell for a marriage scam and I'm pretty sure the document provided is a fake and want to verify. Thank you.

Hi I have a question.

Is 2,000 Dalasi enough for a family to buy meals for a week?

If not how much would be a good amount?

People seem to get upset at the mention that there is people suffering or poor. They would rather pretend they’re all atheist beach going Rastafarian Horse-riders. They downvote anything they see as destroying the imagine of Gambia being some little chunk of the Caribbean.

Hi guys,

Me and my husband are raising money to repair some boreholes in a village close to Bansang- Sambatako. We'll mainly be fundraising in the UK.

Does anyone have any experience with this/ advice on how to properly raise these funds with the aim of a couple self sustaining borehole that can be used by the school and the local women for their garden?

Thanks :)

I have a day to myself to tour Banjul and wanted to find some cool street art or graffiti to photograph.

Any advice would be appreciated....

Not to be rude, but I’ve met some Gambian people online, and they always seem to end up asking for money. Is it really that bad there?

Good afternoon everyone. I will be coming to the Gambia via Senegal next week and I would really appreciate your help to point me towards a place where I might find an English version of the Scrabble board game for sale. I would like to get it for as a gift for a friend and they just don't exist in Dakar. Thank you so much and have a good day.

Hey I want to go to gambia next week cause I'm now in senegal. I have a German passport and I don't need a visa for visiting gambia. But I heard that there are no visa rules any more and that every visitor has to pay an entrance fee of about 130$. Can someone confirm or deny? Thanks

What is Green power?

Bringing back genital mutilation?!?!

Be better than a sucker for populist power grabs. Be better for your women, and women all over the world.

This is a disgrace

Hello

On my trip to The Gambia I recently bought a little bag of aromatic bark. The storekeeper gave it to me "out of the menu" because I asked about the smell. Supposedly its smoke is believed to get rid of evil when put on fire. I thought it's maybe a common thing there. Bit nobody on my trip encountered it. There is no info to be found on the web.

Can anyone help me find out what is the name of the plant?

I'm travelling from UK to Gambia in the rainy season. I've got typhoid and tetanus vaccinations sorted but I'm not eligible for Yellow Fever due to other medical stuff and it being a live vaccine.

Has anyone got much experience with going there without the YF vaccine? Is it a real risk?

Thanks

Which Cuban dish should I cook?

I am learning to cook. I live in Hungary. But to make it interesting, I decided to try to make foreign countries' dishes, in random order.

What do you recommend from Gambia?

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone here knows the name or some of the beliefs of any ancestral/ pre-Islamic religions of Gambia? I couldn’t find anything online about this. Thanks for any help!

Hi, I’m thinking of going to the Gambia in a couple of weeks. I would be very grateful for some advice. Could you please tell me if there are any mosquitoes around now because I don’t like taking medication, so malaria pills are a concern. Is it necessary to get a yellow fever vaccine? Would it be safe to walk around as a solo female near Kafountine or Gunjur if I stay there? Finally, would it be offensive to eat out during the day during Ramadan? Sorry for all the questions, I would love to go but have read some negative things so I’m a little nervous

I visited The Gambia a couple of times and I noticed that most tomatoes that are sold in the markets or served in restaurants and hotels are either green or half red half green. I was wondering why that is. Why don't people wait for the tomatoes to ripen?

Spending a few weeks in the Gambia (around Banjul) next months in a group of women, looking for recommendations on what to do/ what to bring etc? Any other info or feedback on last trips useful to! Thanks

I am hoping to spend some time in Gambia with my friend and his family in their village, I have wanted to come so I can spend time studying Islam and study Mandinka with my friends village. I am an America from New York City, currently I’ve been researching on how to move to Gambia, but I’m struggling with finding a good source for information.

I'm travelling to Gambia in a few days and would like to gift the family I will be staying with. Trouble is I have no idea what would be practical for them. They don't have young kids and are a Muslim family. I'm from Scotland and thought maybe a Scottish themed gift like a tartan blanket/shawl.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I am staying in Banjul for April and May and need to do some runs and training for a marathon I am running in June. Are there running clubs in Banjul? What are the best roads/parks/trails to run on?
