will employ up to 10 Gambians in the restaurant and GTS Tourist Information
Centre in Kololi
Sister Marie is the youngest child at Manjai
- GTS helps by providing the family with school books and pens.
Sainabou's 1st trip out of Gambia was to visit Tony and Shirley, contributors
to the GTS site. We met and escorted her back to the UK, we hope she will
visit us during her stay
Comments by email please
Faye 'Finding'
Now an orphan since her grandmother died, We would like
GTS to provided a real home for children like Faye.
Rev
Jackson
Foday delivers money from John & Kay's Charity that
is funding a school in Essau on the North bank.
The Rev. already has an excellent school in Banjul and loves visitors
May busy setting up NGO
Foday and I are both
members of May's charity board. May now hopes to get some external support
to complete her project and extend it to other villages
Buno
Sponsored by Liz and Neil, Fo makes sure he goes to school
Oumie
Now 9 after a severe malaria bout at the end
of last school year, Oumie still hopes to go up a grade even though she
missed the year end exams
Sending
By far the best school report seen this year, Sending works very hard
at home and school and is a really charming young lady
Sending's
Mum
We hope that this family will be prepared to foster Secco,
a bright boy from Basse, but without a family to provide support and control,
GTS will provide his keep and schooling fees
.
Mahamad
Lives with his mother and grandfather in a tiny 10x8 foot room.
His report says he would do better with help and support from home

There is a definite need for GTS to provide a loving and supportive home for a number of the children we are currently helping. May now boards Pateh who was away in Basse in August but Faye, Secco, Mahamad and Pateh all need a more educationally supportive home.
