Hi,
I have helped a young man begin at GTTI last year but do not know if
I can continue supporting him financially. If the family is interested
I can introduce them to him, via mail. Otherwise, I would be
happy to provide details of GTTI fees. I strongly urge them to contact
folks who have first hand knowledge of the country and specific individuals,
ie. VSO, Peace Corps, etc. Having been in the Peace Corps, I know
that the in-country volunteers run a Peace Corps Scholarship Fund which
is highly effective and direct. They can match people up with Gambian
students and keep an eye on school fees so they are not misused.
VSO may very well have a similar program. Let me know what information
they would like to start with.

I would be grateful for advice about
the most appropriate places to recommend.

If you have any rough estimates of
fees that would be useful too.

It would be very helpful to have
the email address of GTTI as I presume that might be a good place to consider.
Thanks a million, Mike Carrick.
