Day 1: 11 April Hello from The Gambia!
Greetings from The Gambia! The PAGEANT team have arrived safely in Banjul after a very early, but efficient flight. The three musketeers, namely Wandifa, Yankuba and Abdoulie, greeted us with open arms and huge smiles at the airport, and, our multitudinous bags were first out from the plane – definitely a first! At the hotel we had a lovely catch up with the crew who are all well and very pleased to see us. We then started our preparations for our first school visit tomorrow - Wandifa and Yanbuka have been practising their best duck and frog impressions ready for our story telling! Definitely a sight not to be missed!! Pippa and Tina are just packing up all the paints, paper and other art equipment, so we're nearly set to go!
Goat research is also due to take place tomorrow... I have told Wandifa that if any goats are to be transported from A to B, then the goats will be inside the minibus and he'll be on the roof rack!!!
A special shout out to Claire and Chris R – both asked after by LOTS of Gambians so far! Love to all at home X x x
