COTG SCHOOL
We first discovered Curt Blazer Nursery School in 1998 and were appalled at the conditions the children had to endure. The challenge we faced to make this school habitable were tremendous. However, we succeeded, this nursery school now has a library, playroom, toilets, and every room has been equipped with all the educational materials it needs. The teachers and parents of the children were so grateful for our help that they renamed the school after our charity, Children of the Gambia. We continue to maintain this school along with the help of the Gambia Schools Trust charity.
