Story

<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">"The Gambia? Yes, winter sun, but did you know that it is the smallest country in Africa where tens of thousands live in abject poverty. About one third live on less than 80p per day and&nbsp;life expectancy is only 54 years. Disease is rife, people starve and although children under 14 make up 43% of the population, 40% are illiterate. I am trying to do something about it and I need your help.Through my charity 'Seedlings for Christ' we have opened a school, refurbished a hospital and twice a year a team of volunteers visit The Gambia to give food and supplies to many of the poorer villages. It costs money but if everyone&nbsp;were to give just a little then the total would make a tremendous difference to many of these people who live without hope. Please help me to help them by giving what you can"</span></div> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
