It's been nearly 10 years since the school project was first conceived.
Here's a timeline of what's happened so far.
Shmoo and Matthew go to The Gambia to purchase the land for the school.
"Buying the land with Matthew was the first step in securing the future of these children."
Shmoo, Sound Journey Practitioner and charity Trustee.
Bricks were added a bit at a time as funds allowed
The school became recognisable and things started feeling more real at this point
"It took longer than expected but we did what we could to keep the project going. Slowly slowly as they say."
Matthew, Construction worker and the Charities original founder
This was a huge mile stone but there was still more work to be done.
The name "Sobeyaa" is born.
Sobeyaa meaning
[soh-bay-ah]
Hardworking and dedication
This first School will be catering for children aged 4 to 18 during the day and evening adult classes will be offered at a later stage.
