Fundraising Event 1, 2017
In the spirit of promoting our Gambian culture, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and shying away from dependency on membership contributions, GASAM organised a fundraising event, providing Gambian Benachin or Chep to the African community during the 2017 Anglophone Week.
GASAM Week 2017 (Third Edition)
GASAM organised the third edition of its annual GASAM Week. It is a week dedicated to uniting Gambian students from all corners of the Kingdom of Morocco, to learn, bond and share common values in the interest preserving our brotherhood and promoting personal development through sports, social and cultural activities. Many new new activities were added to this year’s six-day GASAM Week, ranging from quizzes and new sporting activities to theatre and camping. To spice things up, a competitive edge was also added to this year’s edition by setting up competing teams that competed in almost all activities. Congratulations to Batch 2014/15 (Red Team) for their well-earned victory! The event also saw the introduction of the first set of GASAM Polo Shirts.
Maths Classes 2017
GASAM organised its annual Maths Classes sponsored by Heeno International, a Gambian NGO, under the leadership of Dr. Karamo M.N Sonko. Held during the summer, new students fresh from their French Year underwent an intensive program to prepare them for their courses in Moroccan universities.
Tobaski 2017
GASAM, more than an association, is a family. On foreign shores and far away from Mother Gambia and our respective families, GASAM steps in each year to bring together students to celebrate Tobaski or Eid Al-Adha as one family. Food and drink on one side, entertainment in the form of cards and board games on the other side.
