De taal, de cultuur, de natuur, de bevolking enzovoorts, je wilt het allemaal gaan ontdekken. Je zal je moeten aanpassen en soms sta je met open ogen te kijken hoe dingen er hier aan toe gaan. Wellicht zul je spontaan meedoen met de lokale bevolking, bijvoorbeeld als ze aan het dansen zijn, of je bekijkt het liever allemaal van een afstandje. Aanpassingen zijn nodig en dan is het handig als je dat vooraf weet en ook wat nuttig is om mee te nemen.

Whether you want some lessons or a complete week, it is all possible. We have our own resident djembe tutor and have many links with other musicians and artists. African Drumming There are many different drums in West Africa. Besides the popular Djembe we offer workshops in Djun-Djun-Da and Sabar. All the instruments we use are made by our teachers or by local craftsmen. Djembe (pronounced jem bay) has many other names like djimbe, yembe of jembe. It is as hand drum shaped like a goblet and covered with a leather (goat) skin. Another name for the Djembe is the magical drum. The origin of the drum is in West Africa and in Gambia you will hear the drums in every village. Djun-Djun-Da is the largest of the the Dundun family which has it origin in West Africa. This instrument has a warm sound and is used to add rhythm and melody to the djembe ensemble. The Sabar is a small drum that found its origin in neighbouring Senegal and is often refered to as the royal drums because of their unique sound. It looks like a djembe but is longer and not as wide. The construction is different from the djembe as pegs are used to fix the skin instead of only rope. Should you be interested in a workshop in another West African Drum please contact us and most likely we can arrange this for you! African Dancing There are many tribes in Gambia who all have different dances and rhythms. The workshops usualy start with teaching you the basics followed by one or two tribal dances. Kora A 21 string harp-lute which is built from a large calabash cut in half and covered with cow skin and a stick. The players traditionally come from griot families and is played in Gambia, Senegal, Mali and Guinea. Woodcarving Many countries are known for their woodcarving but the West African sub region has a good reputation. During the workshops you can decide, depending on your experience, what kind of carving you would like to make. Teachers At the Gunjur Project Lodge we have a team of skilled Gambian, British & Guinean professionals who will teach you the basics of their speciality or can learn you extra skills, depending on your experience. <br> <P style="MARGIN: 0em"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 18pt; COLOR: #ff0000">Workshops Gambia</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0em"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0em" align=justify><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Since we started operating in January 2006 we soon got questions from our guests about drumming lessons.

My group were quite overwhelmed, yet soaked in the experience. I recommend that any youth worker who wants to make a difference to young people’s lives should bring them here. Awesome’ Hazel Mayamba-Kasongo, Youth Service Manager, Cheshire County Council The aim of the Gunjur Project is to provide an educational experience for young people from the developed world by providing them with an opportunity to come together with their peers in The Gambia. In a society, which is closely connected with the rest of the world through food, work, clothes, sport, tv and the internet there is no denying that globalisation has an impact on the lives of all our young people. The life changing opportunity we are offering will widen their understanding, will enable their intercultural learning, challenge their stereotypes, helping them to develop skills that will have a positive effect on their personal and social development and help to improve their employability thus encouraging them to take their places as responsible global citizens of the 21st century. We will work together with visiting group leaders to develop a programme of activities that fully meets the group’s aspirations. Within all of the itineraries’ visitors will take part in projects that have embedded community interaction and after a day of adventure students are encouraged when they return to the Project to discuss the learning outcomes of the day’s experiences as well as getting involved in some group activities. We aim to encourage our visitors to come prepared to offer Gambian young people opportunities of learning either from shared experience, peer education or more tangible help with educational resources. For example visitors who wish to undertake environmental projects can be linked with environmental groups in Gambia and between them they can make a real difference. Sports orientated visitors will be linked with students in Gambia who wish to improve their sports skills. The list is endless. By linking into specific parts of the community our visitors are sure of making a difference and we guarantee this Gambian adventure will leave all our young visitors with a new perspective on life. There are always opportunities for the group to learn African musical instruments and traditional African dance, after all music is at the heart of Gambia. ‘The young people have gained confidence, awareness and an appreciation of their own lives. – JOB DONE!!! It has been a positive experience for all – as a worker it has been a pleasure to support the young people through their journey, one that both the young people and myself will never forget’! Jaime Dare Youth Worker and group leader. Assistance in preparing your group Some of the Gunjur Project team will be based in the UK between the months of July to October and within this time we can offer personal support to you and your groups. We can develop a package for the support that you require in order to prepare your group. With presentations, discussion sessions, drumming workshops and support for you in developing a suitable programme of activities that meets you and your groups aspirations. Risk Assessments The Gunjur Project has conducted thorough risk assessments for the residential site as well as all projects that the visiting group will be involved with. We manage risk carefully, without diminishing the experience for the students. We have an emergency management system in place as well as 24-hour on call Doctor Previous groups Previous groups have engaged with and received warm welcomes from schools, organisations and local host families. The groups listed below give a flavour of the type of experiences that we can offer. MAKKA - SUTU drum band from Chester had been fund raising for people in The Gambia for 2 years, indeed they were part of the inspiration to found Gunjur Project. The group played a major role in shipping the first container of educational resources to the Gambia, which is no mean feat. They came to Gambia to see how the money they raised was spent and to present items from the container to the local community groups. They and their workers drummed up enough sponsorship to undertake their Gambian adventure and they spent the rest of their week adventuring and interacting with their peers.. We can honestly say they had the experience of a lifetime ‘Thanks for having us all here & giving us the opportunity to see this amazing country. It’s been an incredible trip and I will never forget this as it has changed my life. I hope the things ‘ve learnt will stick with me.’ Sian Evans aged 17 AIDA was a group made up of ambassadors from four West Cheshire schools and representatives from Cheshire’s Youth Parliament. The school ambassadors successfully opened links with ‘twin’ schools in The Gambia. They were given a particularly warm welcome from their ‘host’ schools and were delighted to see drama performances and join with their Gambian peers singing and dancing. The group of young people didn’t know each other before this trip but really gelled as a team and worked incredibly hard for their schools and their County. They had raised the money for the trip themselves supplemented by contributions from their schools. ‘I don’t know how to sum up this whole experience in just a little paragraph. It has changed me and my outlook on life. Never have I met such warm people. You will be in my heart and never forgotten’ Frances Massie aged 16 PEOPLE IN ACTION & THE HANS PETRI SCHOOL – our first international youth group came from Holland and they already had links with The Gambia. They came to help with the building a nursery school in Kiti – and every day they went out working with the local people digging, making blocks, mixing concrete. They worked very hard and we were very impressed with the group and their hard work. ‘Your fantastic attention to detail and tolerance for the boys made us very at our ease. Your presence itself is an invitation for coming back and that is what we surely will do.’ Peter DeKuijper Teacher @ Hans Petri School THE DELTA CENTRE youth club in Blacon, Chester sent an all girls group and these girls came to play football, they spent the week playing matches and passing on their skills in training sessions. The girls brought an educational DVD in which they explained the rules and conduct of the game. These girls were a great hit with their peers, who were delighted with the donated kits and training opportunity, and called their new team the Delta team.! The Delta team is still playing in The Gambia so the legacy of this trip lives on!! A great week. ‘Thank you to everyone for such a brill week. I have had a fab time. I have learnt so much about myself and this trip will change how I live the rest of my life. Thank you again for the life changing experience. Hopefully I will be back soon. Thanks again. Kate Tasker age 16. BYPP (Building Young Peoples Potential) from Chester sent a group of young parents and peer educators. They worked together to run workshops and decorate a classroom in a local primary school. They worked with the children in the school, giving them an unforgettable week. ‘You’ve really helped me see a path in my life, at a time when I think I was straying to the left or right.’ Felix Dempsey Age 18 NG2G (Neston goes to Gambia) came with a specific remit, to fact-find for an educational resource pack they were going to create for younger people in their town, the pack will be used in primary schools and kids clubs. They interacted and interviewed Gambians; they used video footage of their town to show young Gambians what life is like in Neston. They collected lots of information and evidence for their pack. They also went on excursions and environmental projects. They got a real feel of what it is like to live in a developing country and became global citizens This week has been one the most amazing times in my life. I have memories I will never forget. Everyone has been so friendly and I have felt so welcome. I feel honoured to have been given this experience thank you’ Kerry-Anne Plested aged 16 WALC GROUP from London sent a group in November 2008 who were in the NEET group (not in education employment or training). They worked in a local senior secondary school and using photography as the medium they explored the issue of identity and culture. This trip was so successful they put on an exhibition in the Tate gallery and most of the young people engaged in some form of training on their return. In April 2009 WALC sent a second group. ‘Words cannot explain how much you all mean to me. . . . you have helped me in so many ways and I will hold that in my heart for all eternity . . thank you for having me and everything you have done to help me change my life for good. I am going to college to do photography and retake my GCSE’s’ Evelyn Connors aged 18 FRIDAY NIGHT FEVER from Ellesmere Port were a group of young sports volunteers who came to deliver sports training. They worked in the community planning different schedules for the groups they were working with at the nursery school, the senior school and the community sports academy. They worked hard and the schools benefited again when the group left the equipment with instructions and guidance on its use. ‘The young people have changed before our eyes and we are so proud’ Michelle Aspden Sports development officer Ellesmere Port. ‘No words could ever say how incredible this trip has been to me. I have made new best friends and I could stay here for the rest of my life. The Gunjur Project has changed my life …. And this will be told to my children and grandchildren for years to come’ Will Cowell aged 17 Rates Groups 1 week Per Person Including airport transfers in Gambia, lodging, trips, food (breakfast, sandwich lunch & dinner), group activities, youth links, daily evaluation, group leader support, 24 hour care, assistance with making itinary (before and during stay) 350 GBP(all prices are negotiable) Minimum: 6Maximum: 20 <br> <P style="MARGIN: 0em"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 18pt; COLOR: #006400; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933">Groepen<BR><BR></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #696969; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #696969; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt"><SPAN style="COLOR: #696969; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933">Bij The Gunjur Project zijn groepen van harte welkom  waarbij we onze gasten tijdens hun verblijf het begrip bijbrengen wat het inhoudt om een wereldburger te zijn in de 21<SUP>e</SUP> eeuw.

Centraal daarbij staat dat men deelneemt aan projecten die hun wortels in de lokale samenleving hebben waardoor er een interessante interactie ontstaat. Voorgaande groepen konden keer op keer rekenen op een warm welkom van scholen, jeugdbewegingen, sport teams en gast gezinnen. Een voorbeeld is dat van een groep van jonge vrouwen die wilden kennis maken met de dagelijkse leefomstandigheden van hun leeftijdsgenoten. Wij regelden bezoeken aan de compounds (groep van huizen/hutten waarin een familie samenwoont) waar de jonge Gambianen uitlegden hoe hun leven eruit ziet. Men ging mee naar de markt om alle ingredienten te kopen voor het avondmaal waarbij de nodige onderhandelingen met de marktlieden aan te pas kwam en waar de bezoekers aan mee moesten doen. Er werd geleerd om een traditioneel Gambiaans gerecht te koken en op op die en op andere manieren leerde de groep over de verschillen in cultuur maar ook raakten ook bekend met de overeenkomsten. Deze ervaring was niet alleen leerzaam voor beide partijen.  </SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #696969; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #696969; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><o:p> <TABLE style="WIDTH: 100%; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #006400 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #006400 1px solid; BACKGROUND: #daa520; BORDER-LEFT: #006400 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #006400 1px solid"> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #696969; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #daa520">‘The young people have gained confidence, awareness and an appreciation of their own lives. – JOB DONE!!!

Different palm trees, boabab trees, cashew nut trees and many other trees which are home to a lot of birds. Gambia is a paradise for birds and in the area of the lodge you will find many different species from large vultures to tiny sun birds. Many of these birds can be seen whilst sitting in our own garden sometimes drinking and pruning their feathers at our bird bath. It is a ten minuite stroll to the beachside fishing area - where you will see brightly painted fishing boats (pirogues) coming and going with women waiting and ready to get the catch off the boats sometimes wading neck high with baskets on their heads then they immediatley start cleaning or selling the fish. It is just interesting to see how all this is done and especially when they bring a boat to rest on the shore. So many people are helping; it is a real joint effort. In the village you will find smoke-house where they preserve the fish so that it can be transported up country or exported to other countries. Either side of the fishing village you can walk for miles along beautiful unspoilt beaches where you will see the fish eagles diving for their lunch or pelicans riding the thermals. If you want to spend time on the beach there are one or two beach shacks where you can get a cold drink, including the Kaira Kunda Beach bar, or you can stop to have a swim in the warm Atlantic Ocean. The lodge is situated in an area where there is a Mandjako settlement, a local tribe who originated from Guinea Bissau and a lot of them have Portugese names. They are forest people who who can be seen climbing the trees (using only a piece of twine) to collect the palm nuts, cut the leaves or tap the trees to make local palm wine. Take a walk through the tiny village of Kajabang and meet the local people who will greet you with a smile. Holy rocksOn the beach, towards the south, are the holy rocks where an important Iman has been laid to rest. During the day you will see many locals, in colourful kaftans, proceed towards these rocks for prayer and meditation. Gunjur villageBy foot you will reach the centre of Gunjur in about 20 minutes, but with a bush taxi it takes you less then 5 minutes and it will cost you10 GMD (about 26p). The market is centrally located and here you will find the women selling their fresh fruit, vegetables and fish. Meat is mostly sold by men. Around the market there are all kind of shops that sell food, drinks and other useful items. There are also DIY-shops, tailors etc in the 'shopping street'. Taking a stroll through the village is a nice thing to do and the villagers will welcome you. You will also see several schools and the local soccer fields where matches are played during the weekend. Sometimes a wrestling match is organised. If you have to opportunity to visit one, do so. <br> <P style="MARGIN: 0em"><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 18pt; COLOR: #006400; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">De omgeving <BR><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"><BR></SPAN></SPAN>De flora en fauna in en rond de lodge zijn typisch voor Gambia. Verschillende palmbomen, boababs, cashewnootbomen en vele andere boomsoorten die een woonplaats bieden aan vogels. Gambia is een waar vogelparadijs met vele verschillende soorten, vaak heel kleurrijk soms een beetje lelijk. Zelfs als je gewoon in onze tuin zit, zie je al heel veel vogels. Op verschillende plaatsen kom je ook aapjes tegen.</SPAN></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0em"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0em"><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Het landschap is ruw en open. Vlakbij ligt een Mandjako dorpje en het visserdorpje van Gunjur. Daar is altijd veel te doen. Vissers die met hun kleurrijke bootjes aan komen varen met hun vangst. Vrouwen en kinderen die hen op staan te wachten en meteen in actie schieten om de vis in ontvangst te nemen. Deze wordt dan direct schoongemaakt of verkocht. Soms wordt met inspanning van iedereen een boot op het strand getrokken, dat is een heel spektakel om te zien. In het dorpje liggen rokerijen zodat de vis langer bewaard kan worden. Vaak wordt deze gerookte vis naar het binnenland vervoerd of zelfs geëxporteerd. <BR><BR><SPAN style="COLOR: #696969"><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #696969; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; mso-ansi-language: EN-US"></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><BR></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> <TABLE style="WIDTH: 100%; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top"> <P align=justify><IMG style="BORDER-RIGHT: #006400 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #006400 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #006400 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #006400 1px solid" height=84 alt="" src="/images/river/Gunjur-Gambia.jpg" width=115 align=left>Vanaf het vissersdorpje heb je aan biede kanten een kilometerslang en ongerept strand.

Centraal ligt de markt waar iedere dag met name vrouwen zitten met verse groenten, fruit en vis. Het vlees is meer een mannentaak. Rond de markt bevindt zich een aantal winkeltjes waar je terecht kunt voor levensmiddelen en andere dingen die handig kunnen zijn. Ook doe-het-zelf zaakjes, kleermakers, fietsenmakers e.d. hebben allemaal hun plekje in het centrum. Wandelen door het dorp is echt leuk om te doen en je zult vaak allerhartelijkst begroet worden door de inwoners. Natuurlijk zijn er ook een aantal scholen en een voetbalveld waar het er soms heftig aan toe kan gaan tijdens de wedstrijden. Af en toe worden erworstelwedstrijden georganiseerd. Als je de kans krijgt om die te bezoeken, zeker doen.</SPAN></P></SPAN> <br> Bird watching There are many different birds that can be found in and around our lodge whichmakes our lodge ideal for bird watchers.

Every morning we get Tapalapa, this is the local bread which is baked fresh several times during the day. We make a fresh juice, get you organic local jam and honey, slice you some cheese, cut you fresh fruit. You have a choice of eggs and not to forget fresh coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Surely this will get you started. Thisbreakfastisserved every day in our restaurant from 8till 10am. If you want to have your breakfast in your room orin the garden just let usknow the day before! On request you can order extra's to compliment your breakfast. Honest FoodFor lunch and dinner we have a small set menu in addition to our daily changing specials. Every day we get our fish fresh from the local fishermen and we go to the market to buy vegetables etc. Local fishermen also supply us with shrimps, tiger prawns, lobster, squid and local oysters. For meat we go to one of the best butchers in the Gambia. We try to use as many local and organic produce as possible to serve you food we like to call Honest Food. There are several vegetarian options on our menu and if you have special requirements we will try our utmost to cater for you. As we are in Africa we have a daily Gambian or African dish on the menu, if you want to we can even teach you how to cookit yourself. When we think the time is right (or you think so) we bring out the barbecue, put it in the garden or on the beach and we start grilling.

De lokale vissers leveren ons ook hun garnalen, kreeften, tiger shrimps, inktvis en lokale oesters. Voor ons vlees gaan we naar een van de beste slagers van Gambia. We trachten zoveel mogelijk lokale en biologisch verantwoorde ingrediënten te gebruiken om jouw Honest Food te serveren. </SPAN></P> <P><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Century Gothic">Er zijn verschillende keuzes voor vegetariërs.

Altijd een bijzonder moment als we zo met zijn allen samen zijn en 's avonds halen we de trommels boven water en steken het kampvuur aan.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Century Gothic"></SPAN> </P> <br> Why stay with us?There are a lot of reasons why this is the ideal location for your Gambian experience.

Gambia does not only offer a lot of sun and beautiful beaches, but there is also a lot to discover. Get to know the locals, take a boat trip on the river or explore up country with a jeep. The nature and landscape are many times breath taking, a nice temparature and the sun is shining almost every day. Culture & Religion The culture is a mix of different African tribes. The most prevalant tribe is Mandinka followed by Wollof, Jola, Fulla and other ethnic groups. Each has their own traditions and language. The official language in Gambia is English. 87% of Gambians are Muslim the rest are Christian and other religions. Each tribe has their own style of drumming and dance which is very important in The Gambia and you will find it everywhere. If you are lucky you may be invited to a naming ceremony where you will see the men in their traditional costumes and the women in their colourful attire which is breath takingly beautiful. Awesome! The Gambians love their tea – but not as we know it. The tea making ceremony of atire happens everywhere. Made on a small charcoal burner the tea is brewed and strained, with sugar added and the result is a strong sweet brew served in tiny glasses and shared by all. Flora & FaunaGambiais the smallest country in Africaandit's riveris very important as it devides the country from west to east. Up country, where the river is narrow, small villages can be found on the banksand the scenery is full oftrees and bushes.The estatuary of the river is very wide and dominated bybig mangroves with many creeks.In the west the shore lineconsists mainly of beaches.

Many different varieties of fruit are growing in Gambia like mango, banana, pow pow, pineapple, water melon, oranges and grapefruit. Groundnuts and cashew nuts are also grown in Gambia, although all fruits are seasonal there is always fresh fruit available. Everywhere you will find a big choice in fish and sea food as fishermen are daily active to bring in their catch. MoneyThe local currency of Gambia is the Dalasi. In many places you can change your Pounds/Euro's etc into the Dalasi. This also applies to Travellercheques. The use of credit cards is very restricted (also not possible in the lodge) and a service charge is applied. Use of your debit card is not possible at all. <br> <P style="MARGIN: 0em"><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 18pt; COLOR: #006400; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933">Gambia<BR><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"><BR></SPAN></SPAN><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933">Vanuit Nederland/België sta je na zo'n zes uur vliegen in een totaal andere wereld. Gambia is een vakantiebestemming die niet alleen volop zon en mooie stranden biedt, maar waar ook veel te beleven is. Kennis maken met de bevolking, een boottocht over de rivier of een stoere tocht door de binnenlanden, het is allemaal mogelijk. De natuur en het landschap zijn vaak adembenemend mooi, het is er altijd lekker warm en de zon schijnt er bijna iedere dag.</SPAN></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #006400">Cultuur & religie</SPAN><BR>De cultuur is een mengelmoes van verschillende Afrikaanse volken. De Mandinka is de belangrijkste stam, gevolgd door de Fula, Wollof en nog zo'n zevental andere groepen. Iedere stam heeft zijn eigen tradities en taal. De officiële taal van Gambia is Engels.</SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933">De belangrijkste religie is de islam welke vaak gecombineerd wordt met lokale tradities. De meeste Gambianen vinden hun godsdienst belangrijk maar men is niet zo streng als vele andere moslimlanden. Een klein deel van de bevolking hangt een Christelijk geloof aan en deze diensten worden met tamtams en gezang opgeluisterd. Elke stam heeft zijn eigen stijl van drummen en dansen en deze tradities zijn belangrijk en worden overal in ere gehouden. Als het toeval het wil word je misschien uitgenodigd om een zogenaamde 'naming ceremony', te vergelijken met een doopfeest. Je bent dan te gast in een zeer kleurrijk schouwspel waarbij iedereen in traditionele kleding aanwezig is en het op een dansen zet. Zeer bijzonder!<BR>De Gambiaan is dol op zijn thee - maar dan niet de thee zoals wij die kennen. Er gaat een hele cermonie aan vooraf voordat een kopje thee gezet is. Dit kan overal gedaan worden en je zult dan veelvuldig zien dat op een klein houtskoolvuurtje er een potje thee gezet wordt waarbij de thee regelmatig overgegooid wordt en er suiker wordt toegevoegd met als eindresultaat een mierzoete en zeer sterke thee.<BR></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #006400">Flora & Fauna</SPAN><BR>Gambia is het kleinste land van Afrika en de rivier neemt een zeer dominante plek in, want deze doorsnijdt het land geheel van west naar oost. In de binnenlanden speelt het leven zich voornamelijk af rond de rivier. Bij de monding is de rivier heel breed, maar hoe verder je het binnenland ingaat hoe smaller de rivier wordt. De monding van de rivier wordt gekenmerkt door een groot mangrovegebied met vele vertakkingen. De binnenlanden zijn vaak erg groen met hier en daar een klein dorpje. De kustlijn bestaat vrijwel alleen uit stranden.  In het zuidelijk gedeelte van Gambia bevinden zich de belangrijkste steden zoals de hoofdstad Banjul, Serrekunda (de grootste stad van het land), Bakau en Brikama.</SPAN></P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"> <P style="MARGIN: 0em"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933">Omdat Gambia een vruchtbaar land is, zijn er vele verschillende soorten fruit te verkrijgen zoals mango's, bananen, papaja's, ananas, watermeloen en citrusvruchten. Maar ook pinda's en cashewnoten zijn volop te verkrijgen, alles is wel meer seizoensgebonden dan in Europa. Daarnaast is er ook een overvloed aan verse vis die dagelijks in de Atlantische Oceaan wordt gevangen.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #006400">Geld<BR></SPAN>De lokale munteenheid van Gambia is de Dalasi en u kunt op vele plaatsen uw Euro's of andere vreemde valuta omwisselen. Ook Traveller's cheques zijn gemakkelijk in te wisselen. Het gebruik van een creditcard is maar op een zeer beperkt aantal plaatsen mogelijk (ook niet in onze lodge) en is bovendien vrij duur. Pinnen met een pinpas is niet mogelijk.</SPAN></P></SPAN></SPAN> <br> <br> Nieuws <br>Charitable Donations <br><DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Guests visiting Gunjur Project have expressed an interest in helping the community in different ways </SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN> </DIV> <H1 style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Student sponsorship</SPAN></H1> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Together with the Nyodema Yiriwa Kaffo and our gusts we are continuing to support student sponsorship and to date we have 22 students getting their education funded.</SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN> </DIV> <H1 style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Other donations</SPAN></H1> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">One of our visitors has paid to have furniture made for 2 classrooms at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Kassa</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Kunda</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">School</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, another has paid for eye treatment for one of our staff – there is no end to the generosity.</SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">We were relieved to see the container full of donated equipment from the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> arrive here late in 2008 and many local schools, groups and individuals have benefited.</SPAN></P> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">The visiting groups of students to Gunjur Project have brought resources for schools and many schools in the area have benefited including Penyam school who received a financial donation from <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Upton</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">School</st1:PlaceName> in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chester</st1:place></st1:City> which they used to fence their vegetable garden.</SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"> <TABLE style="WIDTH: 100%; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD> <DIV><IMG style="WIDTH: 275px; HEIGHT: 147px" height=524 alt="" src="/images/river/GambiaNews3.jpg" width=700 border=0></DIV></TD> <TD> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">Young people from <st1:City w:st="on">Chester</st1:City> decorating a classroom at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Kassa</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Kunda</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">School</st1:PlaceType></st1:place></SPAN></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></SPAN></DIV> <P> </P> <P> <TABLE style="WIDTH: 100%; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD> <P class=MsoBodyText2 style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-STYLE: italic; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">A student at <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Gambia</st1:place></st1:country-region>’s school for the blind using donated equipment from the container<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></TD> <TD><IMG alt="" src="/images/river/GambiaNews4.jpg" border=0></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></P><br>Various <br><UL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0cm" type=disc> <LI class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Internet access ~ the new office is now fully functioning and we are able to offer internet access at a rate of D50 for one hour.
