Bintang Lower Basic and Nursery School in the Foni Bintang Karanai district recently benefited from donations ranging from school uniforms, learning and stationary materials to gardening implements.

 The donations were made by three Germans - Sebastian Reinelt, Guenther Reinelt and Elfi Reinelt. Speaking at the presentation ceremony held at the school, Elfi Reinelt said their assistance to the two schools started since 2005, noting that the donations were made possible through the efforts of the community of Dauchingen in South Germany.

According to her, five students are currently fully sponsored by their initiative.
Sebastian Reinelt also noted that they have renovated the windmill in the village to help ensure an adequate water supply for the people as well as for Bintang Lodge.

The Alkalo of Bintang, Gribril Ceesay, praised the donors and commended them for helping to ensure an adequate water supply for his village. Alkalo Ceesay expressed hope that the partnership between his village and the donors will grow from strength to strength.
