Busy times

We have had a very busy couple of months here with visitors to the schools and sponsored children. We have had some fantastic school donations, a Christmas party with gifts for all from the donated goods, unexpected fund raising and lots of work completed at Basori nursery. We have completed the wall now as far as the brick laying goes, some friends of the charity came last week and painted the entrance wall and did some lovely sign writing. With the new donation we have just received we will be able to complete the wall with gates and doors.

I am truly amazed at the generosity of people and never expected to get this far so quickly with the wall. Thank you to everyone, I could not do it without you.

We took our school mascot, Baba, to the beach on Sunday and he had such an amazing day as he had never been to the beach before I am now considering taking the children from nursery 3 for the day before they leave us to go to Primary school. I doubt that many, if any have ever been to the beach and think this would be a fantastic experience for them. I plan to do this in April.

I have several projects in mind for when we complete the wall at Basori. The first is to finish off our classroom block in Brikama, plastering inside and out and painting. After that I have so many ideas bubbling away and will let you all know when I have chosen our next project.

Happy New Year to you all and hope to see see of you back here in The Gambia in 2012
