Grand inauguration of Genieri School
The Gambian village of Genieri has been linked to Yate for over 20 years. That link took an important step forward on May 17th with the inauguration of the new primary school building. Thishappened amid huge celebrations by the whole village.
FUNDING
Many thanks to all our supporters who have signed up to donate a regular amount to the Yate-Genieri Community Link, on either a monthly or annual basis!
This new arrangement replaces the previous membership scheme and 100 Club fund-raising methods.
We still need more people to join the scheme as, without your help, our support for the village and its children will be much reduced. The Malaria season is upon us and the testing kits and treatment (Coartem) is expensive.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO HELP.
Please consider making a monthly standing order of, for example, £3, £5, or £10?
(gentle reminder: £3.00 buys a cup of coffee, £5 buys a pint of beer ….).
Our account details are:
Name: Yate-Genieri Link. Bank: Lloyds. Sort code: 30-95-89. A/c no: 00044402.

PRIMARY HEALTHCARE CENTRE
We are funding a training course for healthcare worker Alagie at Mansakonko College. He, together with Alimamey run the Healthcare Centre which is becoming more and more self-sustaining, thanks to the modest charges introduced over the last year.
