Pledge to help build a Gambian School

The Friends of Fajikunda Roots Daycare Nursery have launched their buy a brick appeal and there is a pledge up on Pledgebank.

As previously mentioned the Friends of Fajikunda aim to raise enough money to build a new school building for the existing Roots Daycare Centre in Fajikunda, The Gambia. This will allow the school to continue to provide poorer children in Fajikunda with the access to affordable primary education. Why not take a look at the faji.org.uk charity home page or sign up for the pledge if you feel you can afford to help Gambian children get an education.

Pledgebank is a social engineering site designed to get people to take action that they believe will only be effective if only they could convince enough other people to also take that same action. People promise to take a certain action iff a specified number of other people will also take that action. Hopefully enough sympathisers are found, the pledge is successful and everyone follows through on their promise. Some of the pledges are really quite interesting.
