Ripple Effect

To all friends and family. YOU bought a COW!

We've used the money from not sending you a seasonal card to buy a cow for a low income family in Africa.

Happy Christmas!

Ripple Effect Your gift will help families in rural Africa learn, grow and sell more, releasing the potential in their land and lives. They then pass their knowledge on, creating a wave of change across rural Africa. You're now part of this amazing movement that grows and grows!

"At a solemn ceremony in MacCarty Square, in the early hours of a chilly and dew-drenched morning, on 18 February 1965, the final curtain on the colonial era fell with the lowering of the British Union Jack for the last time. In its place was unfurled the Red, Blue, Green and white colours of the Gambian flag. That momentous occasion was the final act closing more than three hundred years of our colonial experience. It was a moving moment, a moment I would cherish forever."

~Late first President of the Republic of The Gambia Sir Dawda kairaba Jawara

For the Gambia our Homeland we strive and work and pray that all may live in unity, freedom, and peace each day...

Happy Independence day to The Gambia and the friends of the Gambia. Let justice guide our action towards our common good.

Exciting!

Happy Christmas from New Meaning in the UK and MOJO in The Gambia.

We sent a cow to an African family to make a small difference.

Sending Peace, Love and Blessings at Christmas.

Poverty on the rise as 33% rural households get one meal per day - The Point

Shocking. But you still Smiling...

33% only 1 meal per day.
40% the same sunsistence meal each day.

Poverty on the rise as 33% rural households get one meal per day - The Point Despite hunger in many households within the seven regions of the country, families pretend to smile just to embrace the name given to the country as ‘The Smiling Coast of Africa’. A recent interview with Falie C. K.

Inspiring role model.

Gina Bass has bravely crashed out of the Olympics women's 200m semi-finals having attained 22:67 seconds! The 26-year-old came short of both the 100 and 200m finals but remains an icon for the Smiling Coast -a queen worthy of celebration!

Nice table and cupboards installed at Sifoe School last week...

Inspirational.
