A portable project that took place as an exchange between schools in the Gambia, West Africa and Britain. Children were introduced to disposable and digital cameras, scanners and video and the computer during a series of workshops. They used these tools to document a week in their life that was centred around their family and the environment that they live in. This project was supported by VSO, an international development charity that works through volunteers.

Kunkujang is a small village of 1700 inhabitants situated about 4 kilometres down a sandy track from the nearest town, Gunjur. The village children walk there and back every day to go to school. They start primary school at seven years old. There is a nursery school in Gunjur, but it is too far for the small children of the village to walk. Now that the children are at school the mothers also want to learn to read and write. In the past girl children were often kept at home to look after the younger children. Now that the younger ones are at nursery school, the girls are free to pursue their own education.

All the washing is done by hand in water drawn from the well. Meals are cooked in the open air on a wood fire. In addition to this, village women work in the fields. They harvest the rice after the rainy season and work in small market gardens to grow crops to sell at the market. On market days women set out from Kunkujang before dawn and carry their goods on top of their heads down to Gunjur. They have fantastic energy and enthusiasm for life which is reflected in their energetic dancing.
