Training Ceesay Nursery School’s Staff and Parents in Basic First Aid

As well as beginning to work with Gambian charity MyFarm, we are also pleased to have started a partnership with First Aid 4 Gambia. First Aid 4 Gambia are a UK charity that aims to provide Gambians with basic first aid and healthcare knowledge in order to ease the burden on the country’s few hospitals and save lives.

Part of their mission is to visit Gambian schools and nurseries to train the teachers in basic life-saving first aid and provide them with first aid kits. On 7^th May we were pleased to host them at Ceesay Nursery School for a full-day course of emergency first aid training.

All of our staff members – including head teacher Mr Bakary Ceesay and head classroom teacher Adama Ceesay – one of our sponsored children, and four parents of the school’s pupils attended. Everyone received a certificate at the end from the excellent trainer Momodou Laineh, and the general feedback was that they found the training “enjoyable and very informative”.
