Follow the progress of the new Scott Wallace Memorial Nursery school at Jamwelly. Following Scott's early death in November 2008, his father decided to fulfil a dream of his son's. Prior to his sudden death, Scott's interest in The Gambian Schools Trust had triggered a plan to go to The Gambia and help with their work. Money generously donated in Scott's memory, is now going to be used to build a school at Jamwelly. This site was selected from several carefully considered possibilities and will provide education for children from six villages, which are at present without any school.
