12 years ago after being released after 25 years of marriage I had half a bungalow to spend. I was back at me Mams ad saw an ad for holidays in The Gambia, so I booked for two weeks. Whilst there I met an English couple building a school who invited me to visit, needless to say I went back another 7 times. This is the only photo I have left of me and some of the kids.

Way cool to have such a significant experience in your personal "memory file"!
Nice one Pete!!!

What a great picture, and I'd be willing to bet you made an impression on quite a few of those young ones.(you old curmudgeon- with a heart of gold)
Thanks for sharing some pretty special memories with us.

cool, this is what real life is about :)

Thanks lads,
I sponsered two kids through school, one is now training to be a nurse.

So cool to have been there, and even more so to have given others a better shot at life.
Great story Pete, well done and thanks for sharing !

Well done Pete, you've made the world a better place for your efforts. Sometime I'll do a post on my youngest son's efforts in a somewhat similar vein. Again, well done!

You've made a difference Pete to those kids lives.

Very cool Pete.
Thanks for sharing this memory.
I have never been to Gambia.

This is a great story and picture, Pete!
You are a man with a big heart who has made the world a better place than the one you were handed.
