The new building

The Girls´ toilett house is comming up!

Cerimony to celebrate the opening of the new toialetts

On february the 26, we had a very nice ceremony at Kobisala.
with pupils, teachers, some parents, some donors and  a local drumming  group.
I have some problems to upload the pictures.  Thus they will be published later, as soon as I manage.
I left the Gambia on the 27 th of February and just before I should leave I got a  tel. call from Buba the head mast  telling that their baby child just had arrived to the world at Sanyang hospital. Both  Fatou, the mum and the child was doing fine. We say a big Congratulatins!

Building the toilett house for the girls in Kobisala

Here we are building the toiletts for the girls in Kobisala. After having produced all the buildingstones needed, mixt the cement, and checked the mesurments, I was honored to lay the first stone. All this was sponsored by my dear friends in the  support club. Sanyang Children, in Sweden.
Thank you!

Welcome to Kobisala Nursery and primary school in Sanyang

Kobisala New year 2014-15

Buba is writing a receipt for the money he just got to bulid the toilett house för the girls. 

Now Kobisala  is closed for christmas holiday. All children in the nursery school and in 1:st and 2:d degree can relax for 2 weeks. Buba got 5.000 skr from me when I came here. I think it mostly went to pay the teachers. I met Buba yesterday. He had been out buying cement , because before  next year start in september, 2 new class rooms shall be ready.  And he was especially happy that the doner org. From Holland also had given him money to buy a small printer which he had  desired for so long.

They work in teachers team. And the studens work a lot in groups. Buba is organizing it all and everything has to be dokumented, discussed and reported. so of cours  ther is god use of a printer.

I met one of the mothers in the alfabetisation group yesterday(. I was on my way to the tailor to pi c up a christmas dress. The cloth I had bought in Woly, where the women had weaved it.)

She beged me to help them start the alfabetisation again both in english and Mandinka. Well I will have to try
