WOW! where to start? 
We visited Basori, we were made to feel so welcome, the children and villagers alike welcomed us like royalty- singing and dancing! The school children were a delight, demons rating theirlearning and songs in class. we felt so truly humbled by all we have and so little they have- yet they don't complain, they always smile. we took the usual school bits and then extra bits for the community- clothes/shoes/reading glasses all were very gratefully received.

The trip was a real pleasure and a total eye opener for both us and our children, we complain about such silly things- yet they don't even have a safe water supply!

The work that Sandy and the charity do is amazing, there making such a difference to the schools they support, helping to make a huge improvement to the next generation of Gambians- with education and a little help they can begin to better there own lives.
Every person should visit somewhere like this, you understand how lucky we are, they have nothing and ask nothing from you but your friendship.
Sandy and the charity does amazing work, work that needs the help and support of people like us, we can really help these people and make a difference in there lives.
we will definitely return to visit Basori, and will continue to help "Goal for Gambia" in whatever way we can.

A huge thank you to Sandy, Bless and the drivers for taking us to Basori, it was the highlight of our holiday- we'll be back!
