Item Description
Oil, 16x20 inches, offered framed in wood frame
The Gambia is the smallest country on mainland Africa, a strip of land roughly the size of Connecticut, split down the middle by the Gambia River.
It is characterized by ethnic diversity; in addition to the official language English, the tribal languages Mandinka, Wolof and Fula are widely spoken. And, interestingly, it is known for being home to Jufureh, the reputed ancestral village of Kunta Kinte, the main character in Alex Haley's well-known novel "Roots."
Surrounded by beautiful water and beaches, The Gambia is often regarded as West Africa's best kept secret for tourism.
Artist's Note:
Here, a little girl takes a moment to cool off by splashing water on her hands.
Item Special Note
Hearts & Homes for Refugees' Note:
After an asylee family living in the Bronx lost everything in a fire, Hearts & Homes for Refugees matched them with a volunteer team who provided new furniture, clothing and kitchen supplies. "They rescued us when we needed help the most. The fire was awful but also a blessing because that was how we met all of you at Hearts & Homes." - Bintou from the Gambia
