While GambiaRising focuses primarily on supporting individual students to stay in school, from time to time there are opportunities or needs for the schools themselves: fixing a pump, supplying a computer, buying textbooks. That is where the Books, Laptops, and Building Fund comes in. Click on Add to Cart below and tell us the multiple of $20 you want to add to this fund. Imagine how this class would improve if students had been able to take home a book and read the material: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqLors3TsSs.
