It was with great sadness that the fundraisers, supporters and teachers of Ceesay Nursery School heard of filmmaker Fred Louradour’s untimely death in a car accident on his way to Germany last month. As school supporter and Good causes, good karma founder James Scurry put it: “We are beyond devastated at the loss of such a beautiful soul.”
He continues: “[Last April] Fred flew from France to Banjul with just 24-hours notice, with all his camera gear, to film for our project in The Gambia when a member of our film crew dropped out. He filmed for 5 days, 12 hours a day, unpaid. You will be missed beyond words Fred.”
Fred formed part of the production team from Good causes, good karma who visited Ceesay School in Serrekunda last April, to tell the story of the school’s formation and our chair Diane Fisher’s years of support. Fred’s beautiful filmwork has helped enormously in raising awareness of our on-going project to build a permanent building for the school.
Diane says: “What a wonderful gift Fred gave to us and to the school by coming out to help us, unpaid. What a beautiful man, how very sad we have lost him.
“He committed himself heart, mind and body to helping us film the kids and school. He dedicated his artfulness and skill to helping our small project – thank you Freddie. How I wish you could be there to celebrate with us when we complete the new school.”
His funeral took place today in the south of France.
