Twelve Jersey volunteers have spent a month in West Africa for the Jersey Overseas Aid Gambia Project 2004. After four months preparation, their aim was to build a skills centre in the village of Sohm, so that job skills can be taught to unemployed young people there. This is a record of their achievements and experiences - take a look at the terrific photo galleries, and read the full reports of what was an unforgettable month. You may even be inspired to go on a future trip! If so, you can get more details from Dave Ellis on 861848, though you must be a Jersey resident to be eligible for an Overseas Aid project.
