I am travelling to Gambia with the charity Smile With Gambia for a great and much needed cause from 22nd March 2022 - 27th March 2022.

We are going to be working with Smile With Gambia's field office and the local community to help build an orphanage and work directly with underprivileged and orphaned children while raising funds to support their educational needs. To have the opportunity to potentially change lives is something that I am honored to be a part of.

We are fundraising with all the money going towards the build and supplies for the children in Gambia. Any amount that you are able to donate would be greatly appreciated and help make a difference to their lives. Please spread the word as far as you can!

Activities on the ground:

1. Construction work
I will be getting hands-on with the building work required to build the orphanage. The site will accommodate a School, Orphanage, place of worship, Playground area and Agriculture area.

2. Working on other local projects
I will have the opportunity to visit other local projects on the go. This will include help with renovation of a place of worship; fixing the ceiling, plastering the walls and bringing it all together with a touch of paint.
I will also be packaging food packs and handing them out to the community.

3. Visiting completed SWG projects
Alongside education-based projects, SWG run several other developments to support the local community, which include and are not limited to: clean water schemes, feeding the poor, building places of worship.
I will have a chance to visit other completed projects like this and engage with the local community.
