Help where it is really needed and have a break in a warm country with amazingly friendly people. You will probably get much more out of this break than you actually put in!

Support is needed for our teachers as they adjust to the new curriculum and ways of teaching that are new to them.

GETSuk requires a wide range of helpers to assist in the making of teaching support materials as well as helping the teachers in GETSuk schools.

Although no remuneration is available for teachers & teaching volunteers - GETSuk staff in The Gambia and UK trustees, support, advise & arrange mutually convenient rotas.

All long term volunteers working in any of our schools must have a current 
Police Check document, the cost varies, but is approximately £10. 

Tourists visiting The Gambia can  arrange to visit our schools and spend a couple of days of their holiday helping in a classroom - this often leads to a longer stay in the future and provides invaluable support.

Can you find room in your luggage for something useful for our schools? Exercise books, pens and pencils are relatively cheap in The Gambia and can be bought there (helping their economy rather than ours!). Plastic bottle tops, coloured pegs, toy bricks and any other counting aids, or any educational toys which your children have grown out of would be very welcome. Simple Big Books to read and show to the class would be great, but look at them first to see if they are suitable for Gambian children, a visit to the circus, or a trip on a train would mean something to UK children but not be part of a Gambian child's life. 

We need other kinds of help too - painting walls, clearing the site, establishing a garden, anything you think you could do!
