Buy Essentials For A Small School Of 160 Kids

Hello everyone, some of you may know me and some of you may not;

I have been travelling to Gambia for almost a decade now and have played a small part in some minor changes in the past but have now decided the time has come to try to take it a bit more serious and make some real lasting positive changes together with my partner, Jess. This is the first project we’ll undertake via the new social media page, raising funds for 167 kids from nursery age to primary school.

This particular school was founded in 2017 and has had little to no support from outside the remit of the current staff until our visit just last week no outsider had ever visited the place. Each child here deserves to have their own pencils, books, bags & have the opportunity to learn as well as any other child.

We will be using the funds for whatever will be required at the time, visiting this month once already we have seen the school is without many things; none of the students even have a uniform etc. Essentials required right now would be;

books, pens, pencils, chalk, colouring books, some toys, puzzles, uniforms for all the kids, footballs, PE kits & so on. Speaking with the staff and the headteacher last time it was also brought to my attention the land on which the school is currently on is rented and this is also of course a major issue financially.

The list may very well be endless but any little amount may change a lot for a Gambian child in such circumstances. Thankyou in advance for any kind gesture put forward to help us on this first project.

Both myself and Jessica will be donating ourselves personally to cover any flights and accommodation ( usually around £300-500 ) all following photos and information regarding any money donated will be updated on the Instagram, we will be looking to return before the rainy season begins in May but if this is not possible we will return first thing October / November with all donated funds to buy supplies and so on, thanks!

Oliver & Jess. ❤️
