Olatunde Ndow’s participation and dedication are as longstanding as Special Olympics Gambia itself. One month after the Program began in 1987, Ndow registered her daughter, Safi, as an athlete. The Program has not been without mother or daughter since.
After retiring from her work as a physiotherapist in 2000, Ndow became even more involved with Special Olympics Gambia, joining its Board as secretary.
Ndow’s passion for Special Olympics is unquestionable; not only does she bring her work home, she also lets it into the kitchen. Ndow is usually involved in food preparation, be it for Special Olympics social gatherings or National Games. Like she says, it is important that athletes eat well.
