What is twinning?
Each year you will assist your twin school by raising money for first aid supplies and training equipment. Schools and nurseries can raise money by making and selling calendars, “dress down” days, bake or book sales, coffee mornings, readathons, sponsored silences, etc. It costs £150 to kit out each school or nursery in The Gambia. So the nearer you get to £150 the better, but every little bit goes such a long way in The Gambia and we will happily accept whatever you can raise.
