D19m Machinery To School

Kingfisher Trust, a philanthropic organisation based in The Gambia, has donated engineering machinery valued at one million pounds sterling equivalent of D19million to St. Therese's Upper Basic School.

The donation, which comes at the close of the century, is one of the organisation's largest ever made. According to a press release, signed by the founder and secretary General Mr. Simon B. Wezel,

the machinery was donated by Oce Nederland BV and shipped to The Gambia by the Rotary Club Venlo-Maas and Peel in Holland, to help St. Therese’s to become a fully-fledged technical upper basic school.

The machinery would further help to facilitate the production of items like crankshafts for cars in The Gambia. The release disclosed that more equipment are expected in two months time. Kingfisher Trust has several programmes for the

socio-economic development of The Gambia, which include providing a classroom for Internet browsing and computer suidies for students in the Greater Banjul area where they access the internet free of charge.

The release said a request made to Gamtel last May for int:et-net services received no positive response. The release also disclosed that volunteers from Europe would arrive in The Gambia
