The building of the new school in Sanyang is coming along. The digging out and cementing of the foundations is now complete. The actual construction of the building will begin as soon as they have a dry day.

We aim to provide basic education to the children in Gambia between the ages of 2 - 7 years by funding the renovations or complete the building of existing nursery schools. The need and hardship of each school and the local community is assessed and acted upon. All labour is carried out by people living in the local community therefore creating employment and providing an income for their daily needs. We provide funds to make the school furniture eg: desks and chairs and supply them with educational materials plus all recreational items including footballs and skipping ropes. We plan to finance the teacher training courses for all untrained teachers.In our experience none of the teachers in the nursery schools are actually qualified to teach at any level. The main reason for this is financial hardship. Each registered child will be provided with a uniform made by a local tailor. This will help to boost their morale whilst encouraging pride and promoting a sense of school/community identity. We hope to promote the importance of educating the very young by providing communities with a safe and happy environment and a confident trained teacher from whom they can learn.
