I have made several trips to the Gambia and fell in love with it on my first visit.  During these visits I noticed how many young children were unable to attend school due to lack of finance and even sponsored children where I could.  I met Elaine who told me about the work she was doing in the Gambia and I became interested.  I felt that with the experience I had, that I could be of use to the Project whenever I am in Gambia.  As the project is run by private donations, I felt that helping in that regard would be useful.

The project will include work in aspects of village life such as;

- Education in Schools/Nurseries
- Medical care
- Dental care
- Teaching
- Building projects in the village
- Support with agricultural improvement
- Eco or alterative power

The location in Fula Kunda is a typical village on the outskirts of Brikama a town in The Gambia, West Africa. It is a large village with approximately 650 men, women and children.

Health and dental treatment is difficult as there is no national health service. Many people cannot afford the costs, lots of families neglect health care due to financial restraints.

Education is not free in the Gambia, a big challenge for many families is affording the school fees, therefore many children have no access to formal education.

English is the main language taught in Gambian schools; however the village does not have a school that teaches English, the children have a considerable walk to the nearest school. There are many children in this village that do not access any education at all. Some children are orphans that are cared for by kind neighbours.
