Ibrahim Betil (philanthropist and Robert Academy alumnus)
On October 29th, 2018, Ibrahim Betil and a group of friends visited the Sitahuma
village in The Gambia and performed the opening ceremony of the water well installed in memory of Cornelius H. Bull. Mr. Betil, seen in the video below, said the villagers, especially the women and children, are very happy. Many of
the women hugged him and said “we had to walk 2-3 miles every day to reach
clean drinking water, now you have given life to us and to our
children.”
The villagers announced that they have decided to repeat the celebration of the Cornelius H. Bull Water Well every year on October 29th.
