We’re nearly there! Our crowdfund campaign is almost complete. In just a month we’ve raised $5248, our total goal being $6000. In just two weeks from now we will be in the Gambia filming the school’s grand opening. 

Thanks so much to all of those who’ve donated. Please watch this video of our chair Diane Fisher talking about the positive effects our efforts and the school has for the children in Serrekunda, and help us cross the finishing line of our crowdfunding campaign!

A word from Ceesay Nursery School chair Diane Fisher from Good Causes Good Karma on Vimeo.

Our volunteers get involved with helping Ceesay Nursery School for a whole range of reasons. Web manager Will Marlow has been working with the group for three years and is heading out to the Gambia for the first time in December, finally getting to meet the children and teachers he has helped support.

Here he talks about what he’s looking forward to about the trip and what he gets out of working with chair Diane Fisher and her team.

Ceesay Nursery School and the volunteer work that goes into supporting it has got its most high profile coverage yet, thanks to Sky News presenter Kay Burley taking a shine to our promotional music video.

After she saw the video on Twitter, Kay Burley asked if she could feature the school and charity on her news show on Sky. Star of the video Daz Sims and school project manager Gabriel Mendy spoke to Kay about the school, the children it supports, and our project to build a permanent building.

The coverage comes after the successful launch of our crowdfunding campaign to raise money for the final leg of our school build project for Ceesay Nursery School. You can find out more about the campaign and contribute on our crowdfund page.

‘It’s gonna take money…’ We’ve nearly achieved our goal! Our project to build a permanent school building for Ceesay Nursery School is nearing completion.

The roof has gone on, and now we’re launching a final crowdfunding campaign to finish and furnish a school that will provide education for poor and orphaned children in The Gambia for years to come.

Check out the donation prizes and donate on our crowdfunder page: bit.ly/ceesaycrowd.

Rewards include: video editing and Mind Fitness workshops, a tour of Sky News, VIP lunch with the presenters, and audience tickets and meet and greet with ITV’s Loose Women.

In the video above, watch Daz’s Rock 4 Charity, Laleham Players and Prospero Theatre show why they’ve got their ‘minds set on you’ to help us finish this decade-long labour of love!
