Welcome to Class 6W Ceesay

Our class name

Our class gets its name from Isatou Ceesay, the Gambian activist and social entrepreneur, popularly referred to as the Queen of Recycling. She initiated a recycling movement called One Plastic Bag in the Gambia. Through this movement, she educated women in the Gambia to recycle plastic waste into saleable products that earned them income.
