Gambia: SDA Gets GPG Boost

The Gambia Project Group (GPG), a registered charitable organisation based in the UK, which aims at providing quality and affordable education to Gambian children, has donated a 20ft container full of computers, stationery, clothing, shoes, furniture, garden materials, school bags and cooking utensils among other things to the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) School in New Jeshwang.

Speaking to the Daily Observer, Pastor Emmanuel P Smith, Director of the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Mission in The Gambia, expressed gratitude to the donors, describing the gesture as a "humanitarian and noble act which deserves emulation by all". He reiterated the SDA Mission's commitment to ensuring that every child who passes through the school is computer literate, noting that the donation of the computers and other items, will make their vision more successful and real. According to him, students of the school will now be required to take up computer studies as a compulsory subject, with effect from the 2006/2007 academic year. The donation was facilitated through a visit he made to the UK last year.
