Hey everyone. This is my friend Modou lamin. Modou lives in The Gambia and has been single handedly raising his 4 younger siblings since he lost his parents in high school, forcing him to drop out. I was supporting them on my own until a few months ago because of my own financial trouble. In that time his younger sister died of Malaria because he could not take her to hospital and I couldn't get them the money. So I made a fund.

They buy from their local market, you can see it in the video just below. He loves to make green tea and cook for him and his siblings.

They regularly have no place to sleep safely, to the point that Modou will maybe get 2-4 hours of sleep each night to keep watch while his family sleeps and yet he is still kind and caring and always asks me how my family is and if we are safe. I hate to see him struggle this much. Please help me feed my friend. I may not be able to drop $60 a month, but added up smaller donations could make it so they're not without food again, and get back on their feet. The exchange rate is high with $1 USD = $63 GMD. Please reblog and share on other platforms, my usual online support system has let me down on this and I need help to spread this around. Thank you

#NationalAardvarkWeek shoutout to Zambia for putting an Aardvark on both a circulating coin and a banknote - apparently the only country cool enough to have ever done either:

Zambia 1 Ngwee standard circulation coin (1982-1983; a bronze version was also in circulation from 1968-1978)

Zambia 1000 Kwacha (1000 ZMK) standard banknote (2003-2012)

Honorable mention to The Gambia for once issuing a commemorative coin with an aardvark too:

The Gambia 40 Dalasis non-circulating coin Wildlife Conservation series (1977)
