Day 5 – Here comes the rain


We woke up to an unusual sight today, a cloudy sky. Then something really unusual happened, it started to rain and it just would not stop.  We had barely got into the breakfast hall, taking the first tentative sips of the days porridge (to identify the flavor of the day)…

Day 4 – The Footy


Four groups set off, to do different projects, some helping to concrete the sun shelter; it was a hot day without much shade. Then there was the painting of the health centre as well as cleaning everything. A quick trip to the shop to get some cleaning products. Some made…

Day 2 – A gift that keeps on giving


Some people say that the number three is a lucky number; I suppose you could say we had a lucky day in the Gambia. Today was all about meeting the local chiefs; becoming more familiarized with our surroundings and our official welcome into Basse. We woke up at seven, with…

Updates from the Gambia!

Day 1 – A serious start


I, like most of the people here for the first time, feel like we have been thrown right into the deep end. Far removed from our normal comfort zones. Although our veteran leaders were keen to mollify our fears and concerns with their rather grave recounts of the previous expedition.…
