How's the Snow in the UK?

So far we have spent a day visiting the Presidents International Award Skills Centre, Bakau meeting the main Gambians who are looking after us.
The Skills Centre has a hall which was hired out on Sunday for a Baptism. The young people cooked a meal for the families after the service.
We have seen the participants making furniture, doing motor mechanics and respray of vehicles for who ever bring their cars to be repaired.  There are cooking classes, tailoring, computing, technology theory, etc.

First thing Monday morning Morven, Ruth, Ann, Jenni, Ros and Shona set up the Well women's class. Many issues were brought forward by The Gambian women relating to work and  health.
Simon, Neil and Abass shelved a stock cupboard.  Mark was setting up more computers - power supply for 10 more is being put in today and tomorrow.  Robert and Jenni helped Asmau understand and develop the accounting systems at the Skills Centre.  John ran a photography/camera workshop.  Students were asked to take photos that represent the Gambia for them. Siobhan,Katarina,Ros, Jane and  Shona went to visit a Nursery School and a Secondary Technology School.  "Tobab", "Tobab", "Tobab" at the Nursery School and they all sang "Row, Row, Row the Boat", "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes".  The older class of 6 yr olds were trying to write "My name is ...".  The SOS High School was a very happy place.  500 students  attend in the morning and 500 different students in the afternoon.  It was very interesting - in Technology theory class there were 50 boys and 1 girl.  We visited a year 12 Chemistry class.  2 girls I spoke to both wanted to be nurses.  There are 3 of our British girls doing their Duke of Edinburgh expedition out here.  They walked 8 hrs yesterday starting at 4:30am due to the heat.  They are doing very well under extreme conditions.  They are staying at schools in different villages overnight.  The Mums in our group met the girls at the local village and met the elder of the village.  He granted everyone visiting there the freedom of the village.  We meet them at Penyem on Thursday - we cannot wait to see Penyem after 25 years!
The heat is extreme here -so far away from your icy and snowy conditions.
