Haikus for Gambia is the brain-child of Ibé Kaba – after discovering his Mandingo roots,  this is his unique way of celebrating 49 years of independence in The Gambia. Ibé contacted us a few weeks ago to see if we would mind him using some of Jason Florio’s images to accompany the haikus. We are delighted that he ended up using quite a few!
