Learn about the Gambia

The Gambia may be the smallest country on Africa’s mainland, but there is surely a lot to know about it! Here is the CIA World Factbook entry for The Gambia, a good place to start learning about the country. Here is the Encyclopedia Britannica’s online entry about the Gambia for parents, teachers, homeschool educators, or librarians to share with learners.

If you’re looking for a live, interactive presentation on the Gambia, consider inviting author Miranda Paul and activist Isatou Ceesay to visit your school in-person or virtually through Zoom, Teams, Meet, or Skype. More info on booking Miranda & Isatou can be found here.
