Story

<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Welcome to the G2G Gambia Youth Project Fundraising Page.</strong>&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000080;">Sussex Central&nbsp;YMCA is leading a team of volunteers including disadvantaged young people from the local area to Gambia in December 2011. Their mission is to help people in the Serekunda region of Gambia, West Africa. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000080;">Whilst in Gambia, a team of young people and volunteers from&nbsp;Sussex Central&nbsp;YMCA, will be delivering a range of sporting activities in&nbsp;a local&nbsp;primary school in the Serekunda region. We will also be providing teaching resources so that the school can continue these programmes in the future.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000080;">We can only run this project through your donations. Until the end of the year we are running loads of events including fun days, fetes, quizzes, football tournaments, music nights and many more.&nbsp;For more information please contact the&nbsp;Sussex Central&nbsp;YMCA on 01273 715439 or check out our website <a href="http://www.sussexcentralymca.org.uk/g2g">http://www.sussexcentralymca.org.uk/g2g</a>&nbsp;for more info about the project, upcoming fundraising events and case studies from some of the young people who have attended the G2G trip to The Gambia.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000080;">Your money will mainly go towards the travel costs for the young people and taking sporting equipment and teaching resources out to the Gambia school who are desperately short of all kinds of resources. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000080;">Please donate whatever you can and help us to help the Gambia and allow our young people to experience a different culture that might change their own lives for the better. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>How to Donate</strong>:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000080;">Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It&rsquo;s also the most efficient way to support us:&nbsp;Sussex Central&nbsp;YMCA gets your money faster and, if you&rsquo;re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.</span></p>
