About Gambia

The Gambia is introduced through dated UNESCO records and country pages from the World Bank and African Development Bank. Six themes teach source-aware English: heritage properties, a shared record, Kankurang, broad country context, data labels, and research from an official list. Each lesson keeps the source, claim, and date together.
