My family went to Gambia for a holiday 2 years ago and didn't realise the desperation of the local Gambians behind the scenes of the holiday industry. When you leave the main roads of The Gambia and go off the beaten track, there is a third world of villages with only one water supply if there lucky and little to know schooling. To send a child to school for a year, including the uniform,
Pencils, books cost £197, only a few privileged children are afforded this. They never went out to The Gambia to start a charity, however they couldnt ignore what was happening and wanted to do anything to help. They have set up a charity and are in the process of building a holiday camp. All of the profit from people using the holiday camp will go into the charity 100% and will be used to benefit the villages and their children. I would like to do my part and run a half marathon to help raise money towards to children's school. £500 is my target which is a lot of money in The Gambia. All the money will go straight to the school. Everyone penny counts! Thank you Jazz
