Friends of Yarida Association The Gambia has been formed to build and maintain a nursery school in the village of Toubakolong. Tubakolong is a village on the North Bank of the Gambia, the nearest nursery school is 5Km away and can only be reached along a dirt track road. No children under the age of 7 attend school due to the distance and dangers of the journey for children so young.  Gambia School charity  - There are currently over 200 village children between the ages of 5 and 7 who are desperate to attend school. The village elders have made a piece of land available for the construction of a three classroom school. There is enough room to continue construction to include a primary school, upper school and a health centre at a later date. Sponsorship is now required to fund teachers salaries and extras like tables and blackboards. We would also like to build some toilets as the next priority and a small kitchen where the children will get a stable meal from villager donations of food. They are 6 dynamic Gambians of different professions who feel obliged to help their fellow countrymen and improve the chances for a better future mainly of the young generation. Being Fathers and Mothers themselves they experienced very close the problems of everyday life and developed some ideas which they are about to realise.
