ESSENTIAL FUNDRAISING NEWS.
The Grand Opening of the school is now a few months away, and we earnestly hope and pray we shall be ready. There is a lot to be done, and we desperately need to raise money to ensure the school will be ready on time.
The charts below show how much we need and in what area.
This school is an investment in the future of The Gambia. All money will be gratefully received and put to good use.

The school is proud to be able to offer educational opportunities to families of all means. However, although we employ strict fiscal policies to maximise what income and capital we possess, it is necessary to raise funds through established activities that are sustainable and of sound social and economic sense.
The following message from Pastor Francis Gomez lays out the vision for what is now called .....
PROJECT FISH.
Here you can see the start of the building process.
This is the finished product - ready to be painted and then put to work.
Progress is being made.
Nearly there...
All we need now is a crew.....
This project will not grow by itself, we really need your help to pay for the boat.
If you can see that there is enormous value to both our school and the country in this project, then we ask you to give generously of anything you can afford. Our children need every bit of help we can give them, so no amount of help you can give us is too small.
