gambia Nine students and one lecturer from the University of East London have recently concluded their field trip programs throughout the length and breath of the Gambia.The students have visited several educational institutions in the country. Theyhave visited Sutukoba Nursery School, Sutukoba Lower Basic Cycle,Wellingara Lower Basic Cycle in the Wuli East District, Bakadaji Lower Basic Cycle,Brikama Nursery School, Simma Vocational TrainingCenter, GADHOH's female wing for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing at Kanifing and finally had a seminar with the Department of Education students at the University of The Gambia.

Throughout their trip, the students have contributed immensely to schools visited, notonly the provision of essential learning materials such as books, pencils,crayons, drawing and painting materials, chalks etc, but also in exchanging ideas with teachers and having lessons with children.

The UEL students, who had organized a musical show with a famous and talented musician related to one of the students back home, raised a substantial sum of money which they donated to schools in both cash and educational materials. They also donated footballs to youth groups and schools

The lecturer accompanying the students, Mrs. Carolyn, expressed delight at the endof the tour and expressed that the field trippers definitely learnt lots of things, which ordinary tourists may not know about the Gambia. She expressed hope that they would again visit the Gambia next year.

Mr.Suwaibou Touray, the Vice Chairperson of the GAM-WORLD EDUCATION LINK, the organization that organizes all the programs for the field trippers expressed his delight on the way and manner the whole thing was conducted. He said thisyear's trip was a complete success and students had close and fruitful exchanges with children and teachers. He opined that UEL students may havetaken their material contribution for granted but that the Gambian teachers,students and the general population know how helpful these materials would beto their children. He said they, therefore, immensely appreciate this unique contribution to the development of education in the country. He finally thanked the UEL for not only contributing to education but also to ECO-Tourism which,he said, encourages the trickling down of the benefits of tourism to the grassroots and rural communities.
