You remember our movie Children deep down in Gambia about the life of the children in the little fishers village, and the school with all its needs?
At the end we asked for a donation.
Now, this is one of the pictures we got from the principal of the school:
You know what the principal wrote?
Mr. Adama wrote us: “Dear Peter and Inge, with the money you have sent (…) we could repair the three blackboards of the Jarreng school and we express a big thank to you and the donors.”
As promised earlier: every penny of your donation went straight to the school, so no ‘sticking’ costs. We were lucky that we could avoid bank transfer costs, which are 5 to 10 times higher for third world countries. We got help from Hetty of the Jappaleh foundation, who could give the cash straight away. They do good work for many schools in Gambia.
Again: a big thank you!
