Every year, the Georgetown Trust selects a number of Gambian students who exhibit a desire to make themselves and their country better, and sponsor their education from where they're currently at right through to the end of secondary school. 100% of the donations go directly towards educating the students.

To find out more about this important cause and how you can donate your time or money, visit www.thegeorgetowntrust.co.uk. In addition to this information, you'll find photos, letters and video diaries from some of the students.

And with all your new-found free time, maybe you'd like to join Richard in The Gambia this year? Click here to find out how you can.

And don't forget: Your time, their future!
