Busy times!

It has been all go here in The Gambia! We have now finished the wall at Basori Nursery, the last of the gates were fitted today. The plastering at the Arabic School is completed, just needs to be painted when we have money and we are finished there. Have looked at a new Arabic School in Kitty, just outside of Brikama. They definitely need some help, took them 500 pencils and 500 pens as they did not have enough for their students to sit their exams. The school is in desperate need of a new classroom block as well as new furniture amongst many things.
Basori Nursery has a new teacher making 4 teachers and a head teacher. We don't have a classroom for him at the moment but he will teach half of Nursery 1 outside under the tree on mats we bought this week until we can do that.
As always big ideas and projects but complete faith we will achieve our aims.
Have had a lot of visitors this week, we also have a full week coming up this week too! Scouts and School visits. It is lovely to see so many visitors and hope they will continue, some weeks we have no one and then a crazy couple of weeks like this. We have had some lovely donations of school supplies, prizes for prize giving, second hand clothes and also cash. Thank you so much to everyone who is supporting us.
