Twelve of our classrooms have recently undergone a facelift, from new carpets to new tables and chairs the rooms are looking shiny and new. This however meant that we were left with lots of old equipment that still had life left in it, including 180 tables and 360 chairs! Rather than throw it all in a skip we got in contact with Phil and Susan Taylor from charity Gambia Aid. Gambia Aid specialise in shipping surplus school furniture for use in local schools in Gambia and, along with Cleveland Rotary, work to raise funding to complete their work.
In the pictures below you can see the equipment from our school in its new home in Gambia, ready to be enjoyed by the students there.
