Yalding Garden Society Donation.

Following a talk by Tony Di Marco about the work of GamBLE at the Yalding Garden Society it was decided that they would make a generous donation towards a solar powered water pump that will make a huge difference to the local community in Farato, Gambia where the GamBLE project is active.

The 6th annual

BBQ

raised £1,400. This will help to build the third classroom next year in Farato although a further £4,000 will be needed.

Construction of the first two classrooms of the new primary school block is under way and it is hoped the children in grades 1 and 2 will start the new term in September in the new accommodation.

A volunteer from London has recently raised enough money to build a pump for the school well. This will mean that the water will literally be on tap.
