Charity spokesman Nick Marshall delivered an assembly explaining the money would be spent on equipment for science and ICT in the new upper basic school which provides free education for students aged between 14-17 from the poorest families in the Gambia.

The remainder of the money would be used to sponsor a student through the final three years of their education at the school.
