Frank Heuer, one of the founders of Project Aid The Gambia, Germany, has announced his resignation as a member of the board of Project Aid The Gambia, Germany,  with effect from 07.06.2022.

Frank has bid farewell from the board to members and supporters of Project Aid The Gambia, Germany, with this message:

“Hello dear members and supporters of Project Aid.

After 35 years as a co-founder and board member, I have decided to no longer be available to serve on the board with immediate effect.

Purely personal reasons have led me to take this step.

I would like to emphasise that my decision has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with the work on the ground in The Gambia or the current actions in Ukraine. Excellent work is still being done here, which deserves every support.

Of course, I will remain a member and – if it is desired and/or necessary – I will continue to be available for selective cooperation.

Believe me, this step was not easy for me after such a long time. But I believe that this is the right decision.

I wish the board and the association all the best for the future and that the problems coming up can be solved successfully.”

The Board has noted Frank’s resignation with regret and thanks him for his service to the Board over so many decades.

Frank Heuer was a member of the board of Project Aid The Gambia, Germany, without interruption since day one. Among other things, he was responsible for the financial accounting of the association and for the administration of members, supporters and donors. He has often organised and led group trips of members and friends of Project Aid, Germany, to The Gambia.

The board has distributed Frank Heuer’s responsibilities to other board members and is already looking for a successor.
