School Village project – Phase 2
HAPC Gambia chairman Matarr Jallow has reported that phase 2 of the school project is near completion and has sent us the photographs below showing its progress.
Phase 2 of School Building Programme begins
Following the huge success of the HELP A POOR CHILD (Gambia) school, phase 2 to construct a second classroom has begun.
The school is located in a rural part of Gambia, at a place called Jarra Soma. In this place, if parents don’t have the time to make the long journey into the town centre, the children go without education. Other families just get their children doing odd jobs as school is not considered important.
Help Malcolm achieve his target!
Malcolm Smart is an avid fund-raiser, annually raising huge funds through his bike riding efforts for worthy causes.
It is a huge blessing to HELP A POOR CHILD that Malcolm discovered and elected to nominate HAPC has the charity which would benefit from his efforts in 2013.

At the Books Distribution campaign, organised by HAPC Sri Lanka, 250 under privileged children were presented with books. The joy on the faces of the children was all too evident and Chairman, Hemanthi Goonasekera said it was a program, which she is keen to ensure continues for the foreseeable future.

HAPC Gambia Chairman, Mattar Jallow, was delighted to report the appointment of 2 teaching staff as the school became fully operational.
Of course, Mattar explained, while we have 30 children already with us who would otherwise be at home, we already have another 30 on the waiting list. Such has been the popularity of the school with all the parents in our little village.
