For the**<br>**first time, we have managed to finalise our**<br>**environment project by building brand new bench in a**<br>**schools from plastic bags.**<br>**-- We have worked with a local artist in Senegal**<br>**named Boutikou Laye, this amazing singer has**<br>**created a song for our charity and made a nice 2mn**<br>**video: the song summarizes our 4 activities and all**<br>**the schools that we have helped since 2015.  The**<br>**video is available on YouTube via the following link**<br>**https://youtu.be/2GmrP_O4QLQ?si=Xh7l3lDhH__tAfDy**<br>**- We offered the stationery to 5000 students registered**<br>**in 16 schools.

**recognition of the work we have been doing since 2015. In addition to the donation of stationeries, many schools have received computers, laptops, and projector to facilitate the training course with the students. We receive more and more request to help others local charities that are based in the country. Every single event they organise we are named as they sponsor: this is because we lead by example and they see us as 9years old charity role model. - The national basket team of team, via the players and the managers, did promote our charity for the 4[th] time by wearing our charity t-shirt before an official game. - The partnership we have signed with a national school dedicated to disabled children is going well. This year we have sponsored 15 disabled, by offering the equivalent of GBP 100 each. Our donation covers the transport fees, food at schools and the registration fees for the 9 years’ scholarship month. Additional wheelchairs, stationeries and others equipment have been offered to the disabled students. - Our sponsoring program dedicated only the top student of each of the primary schools we support is also progressing well. We have increased the number of sponsored student from 22 to 33. They are now in secondary schools and as always, we take care of their school’s registration fees and pay the entire stationeries for them: this represent an amount of GBP 100 per children/family. We have got the amazing surprise to know that one of the children, donate the stationeries we offer her to her next door neighbour who is one level below her at schools at the end of the scholarship year. Our learning from that is that we do have direct beneficiaries, but we are also help an entire area indirectly especially when the books we offered move from one family to another one year after year. - In term of marketing and visibility of our charity actions, our social media are still very up to date. Since last year we are partnering with 3 digital news company (Medina TV, Dak Medina and Medina Actu) that publish online all our event. -  We did organise the 3[rd] edition of our mathematic and poetry competition where participants came from 9 of the primary public schools that we help. The completion involved poetry and maths. We worked with the local authority dealing with education to organise an event post completion were we gave prize to the top 3 of each competitions. This is another way to motivate the students to be excellent at schools. - We partnered with an international NGO named BIOFORCE. They sent to us 6 staff for an internship. We have send them to 3 schools to have regular talks with the students so that they won’t leave plastic bag on the floor. After 2 years of hard work, the student was able to get 95kg of plastic bags. The bag was stored in a plastic bottle that we have used to make bench for the schools: we go green**
