We now have on sale The Gambia Reality TShirts. They are only available in white at the moment - made of a very good quality fabric which is cotton on the inside and polyester on the outside. The tshirts have been heat printed and the logo is actually part of the fabric, not a transfer that sits on the top which means that it will not wash out, crack or peel off. They are available in adult sizes S - M - L - XL and XXL or in childrens sizes age 3 -4 up to 13 - 14 yrs.
Price £13 each which includes P+P in the UK - for overseas prices or to place an order please email me at thegambiareality@hotmail.co.uk .
All profit from these shirts will go towards the Buy A Brick Campaign

African Night
Our African night which is to be held on the 9th June is now sold out - there are no more tickets available.
Global Bang will be providing the live music and African dancing. They are a band consisting of adults and children from various cultural backgrounds. They are led by Nanna Tsiboe, the master drummer, who originates from Ghana. Global Bang is part of an organisation called Celebrating Cultural Diversity which is based in Hastings. On the last Saturday of every month they hold a Bring A Dish Celebration in St Leonards. This is an informal get - together where everyone is welcome. Please take a look at their website at www.celebratingculturaldiversitynetwork.org .
Jamie and his Boomwhackers will also be in attendance. Those of you who came to our African Night in October 2006 will no doubt remember Jamie. This is the part of the evening that requires audience participation - very entertaining!
Yet to be confirmed is a solo drummer and an African Healer, from Kenya I believe.
During the course of the evening there will be an auction and of course - the food and drink!
A big Thank You to those who have bought tickets, the entertainers and to all of our helpers and supporters.
All proceeds from this event will go towards the Buy A Brick Campaign to build a new nursery school in Sanyang.
