Tuesday 21 February
A late departure as the van wouldn’t start. Jereh picked us
up and then Wandifa and Yankuba (Abdoulie stayed to fix the van), we didn’t
have much planned for the day, however.
We drove to Banjul where we dropped Pippa and Yankuba off at
the bank to sort out Pageant’s internet access.
Kathy, Wandifa and I went to Unity nursery to see the work
carried out to convert and make good two new classrooms. They had done a fine
job in tiling, installing a suspended ceiling and electrics including ceiling
fans. This really is a first class school and we were able to agree to make a
further payment to allow the next project to proceed- work on the outside walls
and tiling.
We were entertained by some singing by the children before leaving
to pick up Pippa and Yankuba.
On the way back we stopped at Timbookto, a bookshop, to make
a few purchases. Then we went back to the hotel for an afternoon by the pool.
