One of the world’s
best men, our dear Demba left us on the evening of the 22nd of May 2014, after
a short sickness with cancer. Ingvild has lost the man in her life, her love
and soul-mate. Little Jakob and Aida, barely 5 and 3, have lost a warm, good
and caring father.
It is so very cruel
and hard to comprehend that a man with such a big heart for everyone has left
us so young, at 35 years of age.
Demba has always been
kind and generous with everybody around him, in Senegal, in Spain, and in
Norway. His life’s work has been to enable his family in Senegal to be
self-sufficient in both their homes and work. Some of the most recent things he
did were to start building a chicken-farm and residence with his older brother
Lamine and to secure his little sister Nenefanta and her family with a good
living situation and their own house.
Demba had many plans
for the future, for both family and local community; to increase economic
independence and give a brighter future for those who don’t have the same
possibilities and resources as us.
We, his immediate
family have decided to set up a memorial fund for Demba which will first work
to secure a better future for his family in Senegal. We spoke with him on this
and he was very happy and positive that his life’s work would be continued
further.
The Norwegian Bank
number for the fund is : 97221273692
The IBAN-number is: NO8897221273692

Instead of flowers we
would like contributions to the fund for the work of our good Demba, who is now
at home in Senegal.
