The Gammol board discusses current and future Gammol projects with the village council (village development committee) of Sanyang. These projects must meet the real needs of the community and reflect the vision of Gammol.

Work on the nursery school In Kartong continues. You see the classrooms appearing. A local contractor does the work together with Gambian employees of Gammol.

Together with Halaai Xale we wil build a nursery school In Kartong for children aged 4 to 7 years.
The preparatory work has started. Concrete blocks are made by hand on site.

The school will have 4 classrooms and an office for the headmaster and an office for the teachers. The sanitary block for the children is in a separate building.

Five months after the construction of the well. A fresh vegetable garden appears where until recently there was only a dry sandy place. Large cucumbers are hanging on the trees and peppers have just been planned. The water brings new possibilities.

Students from the Thomas More high school organize a spaghetti day. The students leave within a few weeks for a three-month internship in Gambia. They stay in the Gammol house and teach in the local schools.

They use the revenues of this evening for an educational project in The Gambia. Well done!

Today we officially hand over the well to the village community of Bamindor. The well is on public land and from now on the village will take care of the installation.

There is singing and dancing and with speeches from village chiefs. The women are very happy. They don't have to walk that far for water. It just comes from the tap and is pure. Children are less ill and a vegetable garden becomes possible.

Solar panels provide the pump with electricity. The pump works from sunrise to sunset. After sunset there is 1000 liters of water in the tank. When the tank is full and the pump is still working, the water returns to the well.

The work is coming to an end. The well will be operational within a few days.

Work on the new well in Bamindor has started. Bamindor is located a few kilometers north of Sanyang. The well was drilled, the concrete base was placed in advance and we are now building a central unit with eight water taps and a tower with a water tank.
