This is what hope looks like.

We know that going to school does not guarantee a better life.  But it definitely increases the chances.  It gives a young Gambian the time to grow up, to learn about the world, and to gain some useful skills before taking on the responsibilities of adulthood.

Together, GambiaRising's donors and our team of volunteer Coordinators are providing young Gambians this life-changing chance: the opportunity to go to school.

On behalf of all the students who are benefiting, we thank everyone whose generosity gave so many young people that chance.

We wish you a joy-filled holiday season.
