Our second project of the 2024/25 season was at Conteh Kunda LBS on the north bank. The roof on a large part of the main school building had blown off in a storm in 2019 and had remained like that ever since. There was also a pressing need for a new permanent classroom for the nursery children who until the building of a temporary structure had been taught outside sitting on the floor! Thanks to a big fundraising effort by our amazing supporter David Wright, we were able to re-roof the main builkding and build the much needed additional classroom.
Work began in January 2025 and a team of 5 led by Kebba and Pa worked at an amazing pace to complete the build, roof & vernadah repairs by the middle of February! Ready for the Jolly Boys to do their bit! ;-)
David Wright, George Chiles and Paul Neimantas arrived in late February armed with paint & brushes and painted the entire old school both inside and out and the new nursery classroom ..... they never want to see cream paint ever again!! :-)
We can't thank David enough for his outstanding fundraising efforts (and painting skills!), this project simply wouldn't have happened without him & his supporters.
