Restorative SCS helping schools in Gambia
Restorative SCS are proud to have developed relationships with David Wright, to help support schools in Gambia with much needed equipment to be able to educate young people. David works as part of a charity in his spare time and everything he does is voluntary. Restorative SCS have recently provided over 20 laptops and mobile phones for the schools to use. When laptops and Mobile phones are replaced within Restorative SCS the old ones have been kept and reconditioned to be re-used.
Below is some information and pictures about the work David is doing and where the laptops and phones have gone to and how they will help in the future.
Here are the details of where the laptops have gone and how they are helping:
- Gambian Talents TV Received 3 laptops. They don’t have a website as they broadcast live on social media – YouTube/Tik-Tok/Facebook/Instagram all used. Gambian Talents TV – YouTube
- Rumba School received 2 laptops, this is the school that David is raising funds for to complete a comprehensive refurbishment – new roof/floors/décor and plenty of other good stuff. More details and photos on my JustGiving page David Wright is fundraising for The Gambian Schools Trust (justgiving.com) Rumba is a village and the largest town nearest is Brikama.
- Kumba Jallow who teaches at N’Jalal Samba school received 1 laptop to aid her further teaching qualification. N’Jalal is a 6 hour drive up country, typical African tiny village with thatched roofed homes, no electricity and around 7 miles from the nearest road! The charity built a new school there and installed solar panels in the school to provide some power.
Laptops:
Kumba Jallow, a teacher at N’Jalal Samba Lower School, will use the laptop to help her study and will shortly be taking an online course to further her teaching qualifications.
Alieu Badera High School were in desperate need of tech. Three of the laptops went here.
Gambian Talents TV, Three of the laptops went here.
Mobile Phones:
The full teaching staff at Conteh Kunda Lower Basic School were all thrilled.
Boubacarr, the night watchman at N’Jalal, he may not look too happy but he spent the rest of the day telling everybody how happy he was.
A young mother called Wurry, she lives in N’Jalal village, very remote and 7 miles from the nearest road, this is her first phone – to say she was beside herself with excitement is an understatement!
