Lavine's Gambia Challenge 2013:

I'm off to Gambia again but with a new challenge set. This is where you come in... You're probably thinking what's the objective of this trip and that's a good question as in my first experience in Gambia made me realise how much more this nation needs. Read the following:

 

The mission: To set up a nursery/ infant school in Sittanunku, North Gambia, for local kids and orphans who are not currently getting an education.

The task:

- Renovating an existing building for the school (painting, roof repairs, building shelves, brick laying etc)

- Securing the school grounds

- Sharing teaching techniques with the Gambian teachers

- Running a football course for grassroots coaches and teachers

- Running a sports leadership course for teachers

Where the dough goes: To Project Sittanunku - your donations will go directly to build a well-needed early years provision in this rural, isolated village - a local nursery.  

I am fundraising for charity - Football Gambia: www.footballgambia.org

Football Gambia is a small non-profit UK Charity, which promotes education through football in the Gambia (West Africa). Working with communities, football clubs academies and schools to help children and youth attend school and live a healthy lifestyle.
Football Gambia is not just about football….. the main goal is to educate the children of the Gambia. Providing educational materials, text books, notepads, pencils etc to nurseries and schools, all over the country, as well as developing the education system with the 'right tools' to enhance their children and young people. As a medium to encourage studying, the charity also provides the children with quality football equipment and they receive professional football coaching.
