We are 4 friends, Joanne, Alex, Russell and Chris. Over the coming year we will be working with 2 charities (Health the Gambia, Pageant) to raise £10k for 2 projects in The Gambia. We want your support for our attempt to drive 3,600 miles across deserts, rivers and mountains to meet the people we are helping. Easy you think? Well maybe not...

Jumping Jeepers!


Morning all (if there's any all still out there...) A quick scan of the PBC website tells me that the auction of the Jap Jeep on 28 Jan has raised 76,500 Gambian Delassi (that's £1363 8s 10d in old money). Our survey said that's the joint third highest total of any of the vehicles auctioned so far, beaten only by a VW Golf and a Land Rover 110, sharing the bronze podium with a Chrysler Voyager and knocking all the assorted Beemers, Mercs and other luxury sedans into a cocked hat. Clearly the pink livery had an effect on someone. Perhaps the Gambian branch office of Sheila's Wheels car insurance.

That takes the grand total raised well above the £10k target, so another milestone passed by our intrepid quartet from the comfort of their offices. Well done chaps, top hole etc.
I promise a website update will arrive just as soon as the oppressive capitalist regime that keeps me enslaved to my wage lets me back out into the light for an hour or so... Cheers, Phil.
