We have recently returned from The Gambia and stayed in Si-Kunda, we had a busy and enjoyable time as always. There are quite a few updates to share so we will be updating the Projects page on the website very soon. Also the next newsletter will be distributed in January.

Si-Kunda School has re-opened and is progressing well. This picture is of some of the children enjoying their lunch!

There is much to do, but we have had a good start. Many thanks to all of you who responded to our request for help to support the school, its great to see it doing so well.

If anyone knows of where we can source outside play equipment (either free or at a reasonable cost) we would be pleased to hear from you.

Have a great Christmas, and a Happy New Year!!

Our Newsletter no.26 is now ready to be sent out, if anyone would like a copy who doesnt already receive one regularly, please email or ring me, details on the website.

I am a bit late with it this time, so my apologies for that! But hopefully everyone will enjoy reading our updates and news.

Our last two projects are now completed, all the current students are waiting to enrol in the next school year. Sankung is keeping busy ensuring all the papers are done, new uniforms made, shoes and bags are purchased, and chasing up the school reports which should be due very soon.

Fonkoi Kunda School..... we have recently installed Solar panels, this will be used to not only provide light but also to enable the school to create some income (by charging mobile phones to local commuities) which is being used to provide supplements to the school midday meal of rice for all the children in the school.
Badumeh Kuta School.... we are currently building a school boundary wall for this school, photographs to follow
