DAY 25 – THE PROJECT IS FINISHED

Getting into the spirit of Ramadan we decided to fast today which means no food or drink while the sun's up – perhaps a little irresponsible in such a hot country but figured the Gambian's have to do it for 30days so 1 day shouldn't hurt us. Emily Rice says that under no circumstances is her Mum persuading her to do it for a month!! (which was the plan last year I think)

Anyway, the shelves were fitted, the floor was finished and we sifted through the toys and games and layed them out. It looks amazing. We've worked so hard and blood, sweat and tears have been put into the project. A huge thanks to Lizzie as well because it would not have been finished on time without her help!! Miss you and wish you could have stayed for another 2 weeks!!

Also, a huge, ginormous, gargantuan THANK YOU to friends and family who have made this trip possible for us. The opening is on Monday so there will be loads of pictures but for now, here are some pictures to show you the finished outcome (whilst it is tidy and dust free!):
