A Family Effort: Two Generations, One Amazing Dream

👷‍♂️ A Family Effort: Two Generations, One Dream

After a short pause during Ramadan, the final side of the BFiG Busumbala Nursery School wall is being built — and this stage of the build feels extra special.
For the first time ever, two generations of the Barrow family are on site together, building the school that will serve the children of Busumbala for years to come.

🧱 Meet Our Father–Son Construction Team!

You already know ‘Uncle’ Lamin Barrow, our dedicated School Manager who oversees every brick, every bucket of sand, and every step forward in our journey.

But take a close look at the latest photos and video… you’ll spot his eldest son, Mohammed Barrow, proudly wearing a red England football shirt and working hard beside his dad. Mohammed is clearly getting hands-on experience and refining his construction skills — and you can practically feel Lamin’s pride as he watches him learn.

This is more than a wall.
It’s a legacy being built, one brick at a time.

👏 A Huge Thank You to Albert Pritchard & Wood Green Schools!

None of this progress would be possible without the unwavering support of Albert Pritchard Infant and Wood Green Junior Federated Schools. Your continued fundraising and generosity means this wall will be completed.

A special shout-out to the ever-brilliant Matthew Wilmot, whose dedication keeps the momentum going. You are helping to build something that will protect, inspire, and educate children for generations.
