In 2012, we set up our charity to support a special school close to our hearts, Bakau Lower Primary Basic School in The Gambia. Its where my husband was taught as a child and we wanted to do something to give back to the school to say 'thank you'. The charity aims to financially support school projects that need completing and sponsor the children of today who otherwise wouldn't be able to go to school and get an education. The money we have raised in the past has been used to sponsor four children to go to school, help the children build a vegetable garden with a running water tap and watering hose, re-roofing of one of the school buildings, rebuilding of school walls, provision of paper, pens, t-shirts, football kit, water bottles and sweets, all of these things have made a lot of children smile, as well as their teachers and parents :-)
For those that know me well, you will appreciate and understand that for me to entertain the thought of not having a regular glass of wine, rum and coke or anything alcoholic for a whole month would be a huge challenge for me.....Stop Press....On the 1st of September I took on the challenge and I can report that as of today, 17 September, I have succeeded! WIth 13 days to go to complete my challenge, I am writing to ask for your support by sponsoring me on my journey, all money raised will go towards putting smiles on the faces of children at the school when I will be travelling there with my family in October. If you would like to help the children and wider school not to mention encouraging me not to have a drink before the end of the month, please contribute whatever you can, be assured any amount will really help. To give you an idea; £60 sponsors a child to go to school for one year, £13 pays for 2000 mini bags of Haribo's which the kids love! Whatever we raise together goes a long way and really makes a difference that matters!
