They deserve better, don’t you think!
These are the cooking moms. For 5 Dalasis they can buy a healthy lunch. They pay 50 Dalasis school fees per month.
Just in case you might wonder what this is: it’s the toilet…
This is the land available to build on.
Also children with learning difficulties or a handicap are welcome here. This is not self-evident in the Gambia.
