Immaculate LBS wins school drama fest for disability rights

Schools just faced off in a drama showdown, pushing for real inclusion. Students from four schools performed at the final round of an inter-school competition held at Masroor Senior Secondary School. The event was part of a disability inclusive pathways project funded by the European Union.

Project manager Saidina Alieu Jarjou said the goal was to promote inclusion and awareness. The initiative encouraged children with and without disabilities to participate together. Implemented by CRS with partners like the Gambia Federation of the Disabled, it involved many schools from multiple regions.

Immaculate LBS won the overall competition with a creative and strong performance. Killy LBS, Kassa Kunda LBS, and Mbapu LBS placed second, third, and fourth. All finalist schools received awards for their participation and commitment.

The performances focused on challenges faced by kids with disabilities. They proposed solutions for better participation in school and community life. Teachers, parents, and community members attended the closing ceremony.

The broader project aims to empower children with disabilities through education and technology. It ensures equal participation for both girls and boys across The Gambia. Organizers praised the students for their teamwork and advocacy for social change.
