Karmic Angels
We would like to introduce ourselves to you. We are Stephanie and Alan Turner and we run the above Gambia registered charity.
This charity has only recently been granted registration but since 2007 we have raised funds by our own means, that is through donations and our own very hard work, to provide and install a water pump and taps for a bush clinic in Kubuneh, The Gambia for a total of around 25000 men women and children. We raised over £1000 for this purpose and now for the first time in over 18 months they now have running water which is so vital for life. Prior to that they had to travel a few miles just to collect water but the difference this has made has been incredible. We also installed overground hoses and connectors for a bush school in Mandenering The Gambia and now they are able to get more return from the school garden crops which they sell at the market place to help provide a basic education for the children of the village.
We in the developed world take for granted that we will have water. Without water the trees or birds don’t live nor do the people. Water is the life of the world.
Our plans for the forthcoming 12 months are to help with the building of a school in Busumbala, The Gambia. These children at present have no building and their lessons are taken under the shade of a tree and using the sand as the basis of writing their school work. They don’t have tables chairs pens or paper and when they have finished their lesson this is scrubbed out of the sand and somehow they have to remember.
Other projects include wells and water pumps for a number of bush villages educating the Gambian people to be able to survive and learn a trade and providing the necessary tools to do the basic things in life which we take for granted. Farming is also high on the agenda so that people there can make a living to buy their bag of rice (a 20kg bag of rice costs £20) and when you consider that the average wage for those lucky enough to work is just 90 pence a day and they are the only worker in an extended family (average 8 people) how do they survive.
To get to the subject we wonder in your kind hearts if there is anything you can help us with. We are a hard working non egotistical couple who want to try and change things but without people like yourselves it is so so difficult. We return to the Gambia in December this year for 3 weeks after having spent 4 weeks there in December/January and 3 weeks in March this is totally funded by ourselves, NO CHARITY MONEY is used. Every £1 we collect goes to the poor Gambians. This is one of the poorest countries in the world.
Can you help us please? Anything is better than nothing. We return to the Gambia to continue the work we have already started.
