BUILD A SCHOOL CAMPAIGN

Work on the building of the new nursery school has now begun.

When Lamin returned to The Gambia on 22 June he took with him £1700 to kick start the project.Initially there was a month long delay due to a shortage throughout the whole of Gambia of the cement needed to make the blocks. Each block is made individually and then left to dry in the Gambian sunshine for a week. The block making has been hampered by the rain - it is the rainy season - even losing a few blocks. To date approx. 3000 have been made.They are aiming to start the work on the foundations on Thursday 16 June - weather permitting! Picture of the blocks was sent by Lamin.

We have raised approx. £2000 towards this campaign so far. We have another £5000 to raise.
