What Bob's
charity has done - at a glance
As
well as organising fund raising events and regularly
sending over medication and equipment (his garage is
always bursting at the seams with items to be shipped to
Gambia), Bob’s charity has achieved many things over the
years.
Paid for a water well to
be built at Brufut village.
Keeps the Brufut clinic
stocked with medical supplies.
Sent over uniforms,
football kits and boots for local schools.
Shipped over desperately
needed equipment, including hospital beds, bedside
cabinets, medical supplies, catering equipment, a heart
machine, examination tables, resuscitation units and
filing cabinets (all donated to the charity).
Keeps the Gungar Medical
Centre in Gambia stocked up with medical supplies.
Supplied and installed
computers at St Josephs School and St Teresa’s School
(with volunteers Paul Hartwell and Liam Yardley).
Sent supplies and
equipment to the Gambian Ex Servicemen Legion (and
personally paid for one ex serviceman to have cataract
surgery).
Sent 40 reconditioned
computers to a school in Walsall after they lost their
star rating.
Organised, trained and
paid for lifeguards on the beach so that tourists can
enjoy the sea without worry – they have already rescued
two people who had got into difficulty.
Organised first aid
training for hotel and tourist staff.
Organised and paid for a
nurse to be stationed at the Sunny Gambie Hotel during the
holiday season.
Organised and paid for a
midwife to be stationed at a village clinic that Bob
helped set up.
Paid for a bakers oven to
be installed at an outlying village and provided bicycles
for delivering bread to surrounding villages so that
villagers could become self sufficient.
Sent over an ambulance to
an village (donated by the Red Cross), which has saved and
treated hundreds of people who otherwise have no
access to hospitals.
Provided beach hotels
with smoke alarms.
