The activity report was reviewed to clarify some points regarding the financing of the two death estates, among other things (for more information see the activity report in a separate document). The Board made it clear that the transport of Fatou Kiné Diagnes’s estate was financed primarily through fundraising (from members and other private individuals) but also the insurance. When there was a delay in Paris when the estate was on its way to Dakar, Fonus ASS Le Baobab replaced a sum of SEK 47,771 which was transferred to Nafissatou Thiam’s account on 07/02/2019 (documentation available). Ndiogou Sall and Ndioba Seck will try to get a meeting with Nafi to clarify the situation and thus get the money transferred to the association’s account. The SEK 5,000 that Aziz withdrew from the account with the bank card (which created debate in the Whatsapp group) was part of the SEK 24,000 that was left for Matar Dioum’s estate. In consultation with the family in Sweden, the board decided to send the money to his children in Senegal. NOTE: the transport was funded through collection from private individuals, Senegalese state, among others). The Board is given discharge from the Annual General Meeting for the financial year 2019. - New Board election as follows:

- The members of the association who were present and the Board made several suggestions for improvement:
- close the Whatsapp group to avoid conflicts, misunderstandings and personal hopes
- Motivate people to give their monthly contribution to the Swedish Senate Gambian Faith Society for the assurance of possible death penalty transport and thus facilitate those who wish to be buried in Senegal, without waiting for collection
- the importance of seeking funds from the state and foundations in order for the association to diversify its activities and thus reach out to all members, both children and adults (for example: study circles and a possible ”all activity house” and more)
- good with an external auditor
- Board meeting: the board has decided to agree on a date within one month
