Nov 03 2009
Dan Garvey had retired from a career in Educational Administration in Alberta. With the help of family and friends he was able to serve in The Gambia for 6 months in 2009. The Gambia in order to meet the ojectives of the Millenium Development Goals has almost 90% of primary aged children in schools. This has caused a real challenge on the infrastructures of schools. Overcrowding and lack of supplies and educators.
Dan challenged his Church to help in the region as well.
Dan cant thank his family more for giving him the support to fulfill his goal. He continues to support programs in The Gambia.
Thanks Dan.
