Our chair Diane Fisher is in the Gambia at the moment, continuing the work to establish Ceesay Nursery School as a place of education for generations of Gambians to come.
While there she is continuing to improve the sponsorship process, having employed Fatou Jallow, an interpreter we met on our last trip, to manage it in our absence.
She is also visiting the school and the staff, meeting the parents of the children, who are helping her find local children who need sponsorship to be educated, and meeting the school’s new lawyer to discuss setting up a charity in the Gambia to manage the school.
It’s a busy schedule but leaves some time for eating lovely Gambian food and trying out new hairstyles! Diane has also treated Fatou and the school’s project managers Momodou Jallow and Gabriel Mendy to a trip to the beautiful riverside Lamin Lodge.
