Hope you didn't miss this?
The medical center...
The lab.
The gynaecologist.
The room where they take all different kinds of samples.
I can tell you all that the visit at the medical center really opened up
your eyes and forced you to understand that this i living fact, not just
something we see on TV before we switch channel to watch Paradise Hotel.
It was really emotional to see this with own eyes. The Farato village is in serious need of help! The council wants to take away the Farato market leaving them with nothing. The money the citizens get from the market is the money they use to buy medicine and the medical supplys that they need for their patients. Their market is also an incomes source and the few dallasis that it earns is also used to save money to develop the medical center. Pregnant women are one of the victims. They have to go to a nearby village that is located 40 minutes away to get examined or to deliver their baby. Imagine if the womans husband dosen't have a car or if the labour starts in the middle of the night? The villages needs a ambulace in case of an emergency. We want to collect money to help them get an ambulance. If you have any idea on how we can raise money, or if you would consider yourself to be a bit generous, and hopefully, reduce child mortality in the village farato, we would be really happy to hear from you!
Whatever you can give will help us take baby steps and hopefully help us reach our goal.

Back home!
First of all I want to start by saying that from now on we're writing this blog
in English so that all that took part in our work in Africa
also can understand what we write.
Me and Elisabeth have had two great weeks i The Gambia and we have
just arrived back in Sweden yesterday. First thing after we've got off the
plane here in Halmstad I had Hallandsposten (a swedish newspaper)
calling my cell, telling that they wanted to meet with us. So we rushed
home and barley made it through the doorstep before we had them knocking
on our door. I guess the article will be out tomorrow and for
all of you who hasn't got this specific paper, you can check it out online at
www.Hallandsposten.se
Our project has been sucessfull and thanks alot to all of you
who made this happen! We have tons of pictures and videos that
I will upload here shortley! We donated the clothes and toys to a village
in The Gambia, called Farato. We visited their Medical Center and anyone
who's been there can tell that this people are in serious need of help.
Hopefully our project will affect others and make people
open their eyes for this kinds of villages where people hardley
have roof over their heads or let alone a proper hospital where
they can get help. The hospital doesn't eaven have an ambulans
so this Medical Center is a cry for help and if there's anyone out
there who cares to answer that cry, please do so because what
I've learned from this trip is that there are so many people
living under miserable conditions and there are so many people
living under great ones, and thoose who do, should help.
Of course we will sit down and write about it all in
detail so that everybody can be a part of it and get informed
of what it really is that we've been doing. If you can't hold
your breaths then I can give you a small hint and tell you
to visit www.thepoint.gm where you will find a smaller article
about us and our project. Unfortunatley the reporter
had missunderstood a few things but never mind.
Pictures and videos will come shortley within a few days!
