One of the world`s best men


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
SWIFT-CODE is: DNBANOKK

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