Bakau Lower Basic School, on Friday, organised a musical fund raising show with the famous DJ Lamin Cham, of the Champion Sound system at the Bakau Lower Basic school ground.
The aim of the programme, according to Momodou Njie, deputy headmaster of Bakau Lower Basic School, is to raise funds for the rehabilitation of some of their classroom structures, buy new cupboards for the school, to construct new pit latrines, as well as purchase some learning materials for the school.
Mr Njie also complained the misuse of the school text books during the past years. He added that, the school has lost many text books in the past years, due to lack of store for keeping text books. He revealed that proceeds from such activities could be used to solve some of their constraints.
