Angels Sittanunku Nursery School Inaugurated 26th January 2013
We travelled across to the North Bank of the Gambia on Friday 25th January 2013 on a delapidated ferry with cows, goats and everything that a Gambian wanted to trade with. We arrived to a fantastic reception on the Juffereh (the Roots Kunta Kinteh village) road (thats if you can call it a road) at the village of Sittanunku where we were due to inaugurate our 3 classroom school with teacher’s office, store and toilet block. There must have been 200 men, women and children to greet us all singing their tribal welcome song.
> On Tuesday 29th January we received a phone call saying that the 1st nursery intake had started school in Nursery 2 and that the enrolling had commenced for Nursery 1 and Nursery 3. So within another week or so all 3 classrooms will be filled and this school will be playing a major part in teaching the children ready for the Primary and Lower Basic School that they already have there opposite the Nursery School. They now have education for all ages for children 3 to 14. A joy to behold. The final point on this nothing would have been possible without the fabulous help we received from the Herrod Foundation who played a major part in funding the school build and a large contribution towards the school furniture. Thank you all for your support for this and your continued support towards Karmic Angels goals in the Gambia.
