Welcome to our newest members Jill and Duncan Beckett

Who joined in late October and will visit on Nov 2nd.

Although GTS UK is non profit making, it actively raises money to help The Gambia.

Since 1998 GTS UK has been providing interest free capital to help establish the tourist support network that is now GTS Kololi.

All the money spent by tourists with GTS Kololi, stays in The Gambia, providing the foundation to fully employ more young people each year.

Membership money provides the capital for interest free loans and money from support members and donations is used specifically for educational support.

The aim is that GTS Kololi will be fully self reliant and self financing by 2005 and provide employment and income for at least 10 families and still continue to provide small loan capital and education donations.

Thank you all for supporting GTS, in what ever way you have.
