"Volunteering for GFPA is very important, without volunteers there will be no GFPA and without GFPA there will be no  family planning".

"I was voted in as President of GFPA in 2007".

Mengieh has been a volunteer for several years with Kombo branch, she sits on the executive and has been the branch secretary for more than five years.

She was a nurse with two sons and didn’t want any more children as that would prevent her from working. As a nurse she counselled people about family planning and child spacing.

"I joined Gambia Family Planning Association as a volunteer and attended meetings as an ordinary member. I started attending programmes and got involved in information, education and communication and sensitization for family planning and became a life member.

Volunteers are very important because they support the administration of GFPA, and they provide a ink between the grassroots and the higher parts of GFPA.

I feel that it is my duty to volunteer, my duty as a good citizen. I have benefitted from family planning so it is my duty to help my country and to help mothers benefit as I did.

Volunteering for GFPA is very important, without volunteers there will be no GFPA and without GFPA there will be no  family planning".
