The charity JOYE Foundation has completed its month-long annual summer training camp for junior and senior secondary students.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The charity works to help promote youth excellence in education and other fields, targeting mainly orphans and the less privileged.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About 20 students took part in the training camp, which had a focus on core subject areas such Maths, English language and Science.<\/p>\n

Upon completion of the studies, the organisers held a ceremony at New Life School last week to talk about JOYE Foundation and its summer program.<\/p>\n

They said the Foundation has been in existence for the past seven years, founded by one Alphonse Mendy, a Gambian based in the United States.<\/p>\n

The main purpose of the organisation is to offer scholarships to orphans and less privileged children, provide clean drinking water for rural Gambians and assist disaster victims.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s summer program offered for free, started on the 29th of July.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026Over the past years, the organisation has sponsored over 250 students from different upper basic and high schools,\u201d said Felix Malu, the Foundations coordinator.<\/p>\n

Beneficiaries were drawn from St Thereses Upper Basic, New Life, St Peters, Gambia Senior Secondary and Nusrat High Schools and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter every summer program, an examination is conducted and this year, the sponsored pupils performed extremely well in their examination\u201d, said Mr Kamara, a teacher.<\/p>\n

Dr Burang Goree-Ndiaye, a lecturer from the University of The Gambia, taught the students some basic English language skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important thing is not what\u2019s in your pocket but what\u2019s in your head,\u201d he told them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were indeed very lucky to be part of this program,\u201d said a beneficiary.<\/p>\n

\u201cEducation is a fundamental key to freedom and every human being has the right to be educated and JOYE program is a key player in liberating the young generation of Gambian leaders through educational programs,\u201d the young learner said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
