Second IB Trip To The Gambia

Four students from the Year 12 International Baccalaurate group, visited the Gambia with other students from Plymouth College

They were met with the most amazing welcome consisting of what felt like hundreds of children after their attention, and many more warm welcomes were received from the rest of the community.  After a weekend of getting to know the locals and exploring the nearby villages and the local cultures they set about trying to make a difference in the local school.

Following the trip the two colleges have decided to sponsor a boy to study medicine at a university within The Gambia. His course only costs £250 but without our support he would have never been able to raise these funds.  In the next month or so the students will be organising some fundraising events to raise the money.
