Despite the many staff changes and dffficulties in securing a permanent leader for the school, it eontinued to be maintained and run by our Gambian colleague and staff with the backing of the trustee5. The previous head left without Bivin8 notice and this meant the Nursery began the school year with limited staff. There were urgent discussrons with the Nursery management commritee in the Gambia to resolve this issue. They are all senior people within the community with a good understsndinE ofthe culture and needs of the people in their area. They felt confident they would be able to find a replacement and appointed an assistant head in a part-time position a5 a temporary measure. The trustees were able to secure further fijnding from Be Global. who have given generously to support Jan Jan Bureh Nursery. The charity continued to send all of the necessary equipmentto rnn the Nursery registers, exercise book5, shelving and uniforms. There was a request for money to buy drums and storage and the funds were duly sent. Funds were sent to cover salaries, tran5POrtation costs, food and phone costs as this is our primary means of support to the Nursery. Our Liaison Officer undertook a visit to the Nursery in December, afong with one of our donors, and delivered a training session, met wtth community leaders and parents and addressed the future sustainability of the Nursery. In light of the issues with the staffing and in response to the concerns of our maln contact about the future sustainability of the Nursery, a Memorandum of Understanding was drafted by the trustees and taken for discussion with the management committee.

Sports Day was a hugely successfijl event and the children happily wore the t-shirts that had been sent to represent their different teams and enjoyed u5iTrg all the new equipment. One of our trustees secure(l an agreement from Book Aid to provide the nursery with books and money from ourdonorwas used to find suttable storage. Strikes, by other teachers in The Gambia, for better pay and tonditions occurred earlier in the year, fortunately our staff We￿ not involved. To improve staff well-being a frid8e freezer was installed and bread, tea and sugar were provided so that hot drinks for staff were available before School ond during breaktime5. In May a new headteacher was appointed and he was enthusi85tic and motivated to make positive steps forward with the nursery and encouraged the staff to attend a two day Jolly Phonics course held at the coast to improve their knowledge. Clothing, sports equipment and extra stationery was boxed by one of the trustees and her husband and sent to The Gambia so that everything was in place forthe start of the next school year.
