Graduation ceremony for the 2021 graduating class after 15 years of free education.
This is the third year in a row that we’ve gathered Butterfly Friends’ students for graduation at Darbou Restaurant in Senegambia. We’re always warmly welcomed, served great food, and the waitstaff goes out of their way for Butterfly’s students. We received praise because the students were so well-behaved Everyone was served chicken and fries, drinks, and ice cream for dessert. Certificates were handed out, and right at the end, we set off four “party poppers” that showered our students with a rain of confetti in all the colors of the rainbow! A huge thank you to Darbou in Senegambia, who is always there for Butterfly Friends. For us, it’s important to support the local community every step of the way, which is why we want to mention that Darbou is Gambian, the staff are from The Gambia, and all revenue therefore goes to Gambians and not to foreign investors.
