Hello! My name is Muhammed Lamin Sankareh from The Gambia. I was a participant of the 25th World Scout Jamboree that took place in SaeManGuem, South Korea. I'm a grade 12 student in Nusrat Senior Secondary School. The school which is known to the best school in The Gambia and I'm studying Commerce. That's me on the picture standing under the Arch 22 of The Gambia in Banjul, the capital city of The Gambia. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&sca_esv=0e9d35a69ed69d23&hl=en-sn&q=Arch%2022&ludocid=10713773853398330875&ibp=gwp%3B0%2C7&lsig=AB86z5VJF_ky_yiZWYjoYi31f0zm&kgs=60724e44f616c7f6&shndl=-1&shem=lnolc%2Clsde%2Clsp&source=sh%2Fx%2Floc%2Fact%2Fm1%2F3
The Arch 22 is a commemorative arch on the road into Banjul in The Gambia. It was built in 1996 to mark the military coup
d'état of July 22, 1994, through which Yahya Jammeh and his Armed
Forces Provisional Ruling Council overthrew the democratically elected
Gambian government of President Sir Dawda Jawara.
Here is the Banjul international airport in The Gambia. This was the day we departed from The Gambia to go and participate in the 25th WSJ in South Korea.
Early morning at the WSJ welcome center. After we arrived in South Korea we were taken to the Jamboree welcome center and we spent the night there because it was late and unsafe at the Jamboree campsite.
First activity at the Seonunsa Temple in Gochang. This activity is the 26th activity of the Jeonbuk's 30 regions. And it is located in West/North part of the Jamboree Map. I learnt a lot Korean cultures there and it was so fun over there.
Just after an activity relaxing 😎
I was the flag bearer of The Gambia at the opening ceremony of the Jamboree. I was so fortunate to be on the stage with The Gambian flag and the President of Korea was right there. The memories of this day is still fresh in my mind because I was so proud to raise the flag of my country in a world gathering. It left a lasting impressing because I still watch the video of the opening ceremony on You Tube to see myself holding the flag of The Gambia.
This is Karma, my very good friend from Egypt. We still keep in touch.
Men in action 😁. This was an indoor activity at the Jamboree campsite.
It was Kimchi time in Buan😋😁. Here is the Kimchi Experience Center in Bun where we made Kimchi, eat it and drank a sweet rice drink. This is the 30th activity of the Jeonbuk's 30 regions and located around the West/North part of the Jamboree map.
Here is the Celadon Museum in Buan. We explored a lot of Korean dishes and histories. It's the 29th activity of the Jeonbuk's 30 regions and it's located at around the Western part of the Jamboree map.
Am I not a good painter?😁
Want to know why I am looking so serious here? I was playing soccer game and I lost my first game, so I didn't want to lose my second game that's why I was looking so serious 😂
Radio scouting. It was so fun 😀
Cultural day at the Jamboree site ❤. This is a Gambian traditional outfit worn by Gambians on their traditional marriages and other cultural events.
Here is the GS Engineering & Construction in Seoul. Due to the whether conditions and expected typhon to take place in SaeManGeum. We had to move from the jamboree campsite for our safety. Then the Gambian contingent was taken to the GS Engineering & Construction. They welcomed us warmly and made sure we enjoy the rest of the jamboree. It was so cool over there and we had great memories there.
I took this picture at the De-militarize Zone. I went into the tunnel built by the North Korean government at the time of the Korean civil war. It was so cool in there 😀
We went to a mall in the city of Seoul to do some shopping we want to take back home.
Our last day at the GS E&C. I want to say a big thanks to them for making our jamboree a memorable one.
After we were taken to the Myongji University, where we stayed to wait for the day of our flight back to Th Gambia. I also want to give a big thanks to the Korean government for making the 25th WSJ a success for us, we appreciate a lot🙏.
