WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE (Last Updated: 20th July 2008)
	It is with great sadness to announce that Rob Pitt passed away on Thursday, 17th July, aged 37yrs.  Rob has been such a huge help in raising funds for this charity by organising events that were always great fun and well attended. Rob was very popular with us all, his enthusiasm was infectious, and he was always a great support to us.  It is unfortunate that Rob will no longer be able to come to Gambia with us next year as he had hoped, as I know the people there would have shown such appreciation for all he has done. On behalf of all the trustees, beneficiaries and friends of this charity I would like to pass on our condolences to his family and friends, and our sincere thanks for the great contribution he has made. Rest In Peace Rob     Latest updates: We now have an update on our activities so far in 2008.
