Anya's Wish
Anya's Wish is a relatively new charity which my mum started to set up in January 2014. After a last minute holiday to The Gambia in December 2013, my mum stumbled across a local community school, where education is provided free to the local children for 2 hours a day. In the Gambia, education is not accessible and must be paid for, so the free community school is a blessing to the children and their family. The Government has been trying to stop this by taking away the land and demolishing classrooms.
Currently, there are 85 children between the ages of 4 and 13 attending the school, in one very small classroom. The teachers are not paid and they have little in the way of resources.
The aims of the charity include raising £10,000 to buy the land back from the Government, £10,000 to build more classrooms, toilets and offices with furnishings and another £5000 for learning resources and teachers salaries.
My mum asked me to be her events coordinator and help her organise fundraisers and events for the charity.
