As newly retiered I stayed in the Gambia from october 11 to january 12. This was the longest stay so far. We continued the studycircles in Mandinka and English for the mothers during my stay. I now regard these women as real personal friends. I am really happy to have them! We worked together in the electioncampaign, we had parties singing and dancing and we struggeled with the studdies. Around Christmas our headmaster Buba Bojan got marrtied to a lovely teacher from Gunjur Fatou Cham. At New Year we had a big party for them in our compound and continued down at the beach to wellcome the new yaear 2012. During easter 2012. A new member in our supportorganisation, Kristina Larsson (who works for ABF in the south of Sweden, and is bulding a home in a willage shortly north of Sanyang.) visited Kobisala, bringing our contribution to Buba. Now beginning of june 2012 we hear that the rain has started in the Gambia allreaddy. And we do hope that this season shall be better for gardening than last one. Our friends in the Gambia have a tuff time, and do need our support ! Rosalie Sanyang
