By Victor Sylver.

The office of the mayor of Southwark, Sierra Leonean Dr Columba Blango was the scene today of a double presentation of gifts. Mayor Blango, himself a member of INASLA, the community development association dedicated to serving the interests of all Sierra Leoneans abroad, presented a plaque to the organisation for what he called "the noble idea of getting an umbrella organisation that would work, communicate and liaise with all groups dedicated to the cause of the Sierra Leonean abroad. Mayor Blango praised the dedication of members in the effort to sensitise others about the tasks facing INASLA. Receiving the plaque, INASLA Chairman Micky Fofanah outlined the organisation's aims and objectives, informing the mayor about achievements so far, the tasks ahead and vision for an organisation that is strictly non-political and is open to all Sierra Leoneans and friends of the mother country and expressed the hope that Mayor Blango would continue his immeasurable contributions towards the development and expansion of the organisation. The INASLA Chairman also presented Mayor Blango with copies of the new 2004 INASLA calendar and said that the token gift was in appreciation of the support of Mayor Blango.
