Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I decided to take a gap year  a  few weeks at a time over the next few years! In February 2011,(to celebrate THAT birthday) I was able to visit Kwinella school in The Gambia to teach for two weeks and to find out for myself what sort of difference I can make through collections and fund-raising at home. I am not asking for personal sponsorship in any way, only for some help in fundraising for this small and very worthwhile charity - do please look at their website. Over the past year thanks to the generosity of many people I have been able to reach my original target of paying for a year's school meals for the two schools currently supported (770 children) So I am now extending the target to try to add 100 mosquito nets to the total. Each net, costing about £7 is potentially a life saver; malaria is the leading cause of death in the under fives and among pregnant women in The Gambia.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
