Gunjar Exchange Program

The theme of international development continued through to Tuesday 23rd September when I went to an outstanding presentation from this year's crop of graduates from the BUILD charities Gunjar exchange program. The graduates spoke about what they had done during their month visiting the Gunjar village in the Gambia. It was quite an extraordinary presentation, given by young people from the Marlborough community, who described how they had managed to refurbish a school building, the same school that Dr Nick Maurice had built on his very first visit to the Gambia 25 years ago. We also heard how the team managed to lose 9 nil at football to the locals!
