COMING SOON.... THE PA BOJANG ACADEMY
The new Pa Bojang Academy close to completion.
Buildings constructed and Classrooms fitted out.
The initial construction and building work for the Pa Bojang Academy (PBA) is almost complete and is due to be completed by November 2025.
The PBA will cater for a small number of pupils aspiring to be Community Leaders and who require a more advanced level of Lower Secondary school education. There are still over 46,000 children in the Gambia who are unable to access a full cycle of education. We hope to start addressing this!
In the coming months, we will give more information on how YOU can become involved and ways to partner in the next stage of educating the Gambian Child. The Journey Continues....
AUGUST 2025 UPDATE
GRAND RAISINGS FAMILY......
... just a short update on developments with IE, BTSE and the new Pa Bojang Academy. The journey as always takes its time and the footfalls slow, to maximise collective energy!
BTSE
The Bojang Tamba School of Excellence (BTSE) continues to grow with over 100 pupils on roll and four permanent teaching staff. The school has also become a Learning Centre, recently hosting Leadership trainees under its mentorship.
The BTSE is now coordinated locally under the Lamin School Management Board in the Gambia and is also supported in the UK through the Black Fathers Support Group (BFSG) www.bfsg.org.uk. The goal of helping to create a sustainable structure in Lamin has been achieved!
We still continue to support the school through our regular visits, assistance with some running repairs and our promotional events. Continued material and financial donations are still accepted for BTSE through our Support and Donations page or directly through any of the IE Directors.
As restitution for our silence, we are sharing the unedited version of “Stand Up Be Counted: Love not 8”. FUL-JOY and See where you figure in the BTSE story!!

*Bojang Tamba School of Excellence UPDATE 2024*
FORWARD FROM BTSE
Grand Raising Family and Sponsors…. despite the scarce updates the works go on.
The Bojang Tamba School of Excellence (BTSE), after a decade of development, was successfully handed over to the local community members of Lamin at the end of 2022 and is now managed under the shared partnership of the Black Fathers Support Group (BFSG) and the Lamin School Management Board. This has meant that Inspirational Enterprise (IE) and its Directors no longer have any role in the administration or management of the school. After starting out as a vision that turned into a reality, Bojang Tamba School of Excellence is now continuing to achieve its next goals.
However, our reluctance to leave education and engaging young people – “each one teach one” has resulted in start-up of another new program of targeted support. This activity is currently being underway and further details will be made available of how you can become involved.

Big Steps on the Journey!
2022 SPONSORED WALK
The Longest journey starts with the first step.......
Sabbath Risings Family,
Once again we have to give unceasing Thanks to the Queens and Kings, Princes and Princesses who joined us for our 5th Sponsored Walk to support the ongoing development of Bojang Tamba School of Excellence (BTSE) in the Gambia.
The skies stayed bright (as usual) this year as our numbers more than doubled and we were honoured to have the Sangoma Singers amongst us who made sure earth rhythms accompanied us. Brother Kush led an interlude of drumming at the midpoint and the day was rounded off by a free drumming session Rising up the energies of our Ancestors in acknowledgement of our achievements to date.
The funds raised will all go to the forthcoming electrification and related works taking place at the school over the coming months. After 10 years of developing the school, it is time to consolidate all of the works so Bojang Tamba School of Excellence is in the best position for the next ten years of growth.
The top of one mountain is the foot of the next….
Love and Honour to all that joined and supported us and completed their Sponsored Walk. The Bojang Tamba children and their families in the Gambia Thank you! Every step you took is a positive step forward in the life of our children! Sankofa! Ase! Ase!
RasPects!
