Founded in September 1998 in Nemakunku area of Serekunda town, its provides first stage education for children whose parents cannot afford to sent to pre-school in and around the area.
We wish to familiarize you with the aims and objects of the school. Besides, we will be happy to supply any information to families, friends, organizations and individuals on request.
THE HISTORY
The Gambia Friendship Nursery School was founded on the 1st of September 1998 and was dedicated to all refugees in the sub region and the poor and needy children whose parents cannot afford to send them to nursery school due to poverty.
The coordinator Mr. kamara is also a refugee who is from Sierra Leone who looses both parents on the 1st of January 1995 in his home town Foreidugu together with his two children.
LOCATION
The school is located in the locality of Nemakunku 11 kilometer from Banjul the capital city of the Gambia, It is presently enrolling 186 children in a sharing apartment with tenants. Due to the lack of financial assistance and it’s growing as many less privilege children are sent to the school. The children cannot play freely as the compound is hosting tenants and its is not big enough for the children to play about especially when the tenants launder their clothes and hang them on the ropes.
AIMS & OBJECTIVES
The school provides pre education tuition and welfare to children in and around the area. Its accepts children from ages of two to seven. As it is clearly know that the foundation of a child is when that child has a proper guide from the initial stage of his or her life education. If a child doesn’t go kindergarten till the age of seven before he or she start primary school education, it will be very difficult to perform well at primary school level and subsequently at higher school.
Some people are willing to send their children to schools but the demand schools are requesting they can’t attempt it, as such many children walk on the street exposing to dangers.
The Friendship Nursery School is requesting meager amount to pay all school bills and to pay the service of medical officer who visit’s the school twice every two weeks and the rental and staff salaries.
GENERAL PROBLEMS
A school of this nature is doubtly base by a number of problems, for most, the school lack almost all the games units that’s make a school. In the classrooms we don’t have sufficient and comfortable furniture.
The few we have are not comfortable enough for child learning, as a result its likely devoid the growth of a child and lessen his or her attention, class children ages to seven who are suppose to writing materials go to buy them.
GENERAL REQUIRED
The school will appreciate any organization, families, friends and individuals to sponsor the children’s education into whatever level he or she can so that the drop out will be minimized at this initial stage of this innocent refugee children. Whosoever wishes to pay for a child in our school, we normally write a personal history and attached the child picture and send it for the person.
We also looking forward for funds to purchase a land for the school building, furniture, school materials and clothing’s so that the school will have its own building instead of paying rent every months which increasing annually.
Thanks
Coordinator
Mr. Alpha Kamara
