A SIMPLE WAY TO DONATE
AMINATA AND THE BAG OF SEEDS
BOJANG TAMBA SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE in print!
SPONSORS RESPONSE
In January 2020 Sandra Moodie started sponsoring Aminata Jarju from Bojang Tamba School of Excellence. Soon after undertaking the commitment in wanting to make a difference in providing Aminata's school essentials; she felt moved to do a little more. With that in mind, she used the time through the first lockdown to write Aminata a story. A story featuring her as the main character in the adventure. The intention of the story was to inspire Aminata and her peers in finding their gift. As the work progressed Sandra researched illustrators all over the world online to make her script come to life to stimulate young minds. She eventually found the perfect illustrator Vladimir Cebu a qualified Lawyer in the Philippines, to animate her story. A great working relationship was established between them as the book came together perfectly.
Sandra also features her own granddaughter Skyla Rae in the book. A character from the UK temporarily attending Bojang Tamba School while her parents work in The Gambia.
Soon an adventure of rejection unfolds with an inspiring outcome for Aminata which sends a positive message around a child's well-being with parental engagement and giving a child fulfillment.
Sandra is the founder and owner of 'Pass the Baton Raise the Next Generation'.
She is a community cohesion specialist. Her work has stretched over three decades with children in schools, parents and families through her roles as a Community Leader in Lambeth and previously Children's Centre Manager in both Lambeth and Wandsworth. Her work is centred around putting purpose back into the hands of the next generation.

COVID19 RELIEF
Black Fathers stretch their hands across the waters!
In these times of uncertainty and social distancing, the weak heart fear to continue to spread Love. But the Black Fathers Support Group (BFSG) are no weak hearts and stepped up to the plate this month when they heard that the children (and their families) of Bojang Tamba School of Excellence (BTSE) needed some support.
Like many in Africa, the lockdown and curfews due to the supposed corona virus across the continent has meant that many families cannot work or have reduced incomes. Less income means that households have fewer resources with which to feed their families. Growing children need to eat! Learning children need to eat and read! Happy children need to eat, read and play! The BFSG in association with AGA decided in this time to make sure that as their name implies they support our Children to Eat, Read and Play.
Their donation to support the School feeding programme and to send more learning resources means that BTSE is able to make sure our pupils continue to develop and have less to worry about even when the school is yet to open.
The Bojang Tamba Staff, the children, their families and friends extend Big Thanks to the BFSG for the support and for making sure the only contagion is LOVE. Thank you Black Fathers your help has gone a long way.
