Update from Anbjørg in The Gambia

Published November 28, 2021

I’m still doing photography in Brikama, Ebo Town, and New Jeshwang, and everything is going really well—I’m surrounded by nothing but nice people. It’s hot—the car’s thermometer reads 38–43 degrees during the day. We’re working on getting the container out, and there are meetings with staff. People here don’t talk about COVID-19 anymore, but we wear face masks at the bank and in the mall.

Would you or someone you know like to sponsor Gambian children and ensure they receive 15 years of schooling?

One less problem
Young people in The Gambia are just like young people here at home. They don’t think much about the consequences of their actions, especially if it means they have to go out of their way. That’s why it was necessary to install a new gate between the students’ dining hall and the neighboring building.

"You have to bend it while it's young..."
The old saying, “You have to bend it early to make a good hook,” doesn’t quite apply to what’s happening in our schools in The Gambia, but we’re seeing a welcome development. Before, we had to come from Norway and take care of almost everything ourselves, or pay for services from professionals in The Gambia. We no longer need to do that.
